Abstract: The interaction of hydrodynamic conditions and beach morphology may modify the coastal flooding and hence the hazard level for natural values and coastal facilities. So far, the knowledge on how the hydrodynamic and beach morphology interactions affect the coastal flooding is scarce. Here, the performance of a process-based hazard level forecasting modelling chain is assessed and then applied to different storm scenarios and morphological profile configurations in a highly urbanized beach (Zarautz, Basque coast). The aim of the present study is twofold; first, the validation of the modelling chain and its application to obtain a database of compound flooding scenarios; and second, the quantification of the influence of morphological parameters on the coastal flooding intensity under different storm scenarios through statistical approaches.
