    "descript": "In 2023, Conti and others (2024a) ran a series of flume experiments to investigate the effect of moisture content on dune erosion. In this study, the flume setup was used from Conti and others (2024b) to assess the role of offshore sandbar morphology on regulating wave runup at the shoreline and hydrodynamics in the nearshore. A hindcast of the Conti and others (2024a) flume experiment was performed using the Simulating Waves Till Shore (SWASH; Zijlema and others, 2011). A series of synthetic flume profiles were then derived with modified bar morphologies and used as a boundary condition for additional SWASH simulations. SWASH requires a beach profile as a boundary condition and wave forcing conditions. The JONSWAP spectrum from the physical flume experiment (Conti and others, 2024b) was used to force the model on the profiles in this dataset. This data release contains two sets (reflective and dissipative) of synthesized barred beach profiles based on conditions in the University of New South Wales Water Research Laboratory's 0.9-meter (m) wave flume. Each set of profiles contain a barless version to allow comparisons between barred and planar beaches.",
