Abstract
 The influences of sea level rise and wave intensification due to climate change have been studied recently. In regard with the influences on beach profile, number of studies have considered due only to sea level rise but not many studies due to change of wave characteristics have been conducted. In this study, the influence of both sea level rise and wave intensification due to climate change is investigated and compared around the structures. The study site, Uradome Coast, which has two submerged breakwaters and beach nourishment as erosion control. As a result, the beach profile change due to change of wave characteristic in future climate is estimated to be the same or more than that caused by sea level rise.
