Fig. 6. The Boussinesq model results. In the first panel the horizontal shoreline movement, in the second panel the shoreline velocity, in the
third panel the wave run-up. The circle markers represent maximum run-up.
Fig. 7 shows the run-up versus the probability and the empirical frequencies which are calculated using the
Weibull formula f i=i/(1+N). In the figure are also showed the main run up parameters and the Rs.

Fig.7. The Rayleigh CDF and the empirical frequencies of numerical wave run-up (Hs= 0.86, Tp=6.16). The continous line is the Rayleigh CDF
the circle markers are the empirical frequencies.

Table 1 shows the comparison between the measured field data and the numerical model results in terms of the
1%, 2%, and significant wave run-up. The matching between the numerical model and the field measurements
