The possible influence on swash-zone sediment transport of hydraulic jumps is investigated using field measurements from two natural beaches in high-energy (H_s = 1.5 to 3.7 meters) dissipative conditions. Results from measurements of cross-shore velocity using electromagnetic current meters at z = 3 centimeters, water depth using pressure transducers at z = 0, and cross-shore bore displacement using video time stacks suggest that hydraulic jumps may occur in approximately one-third of infragravity backwashes. Results from sediment load measurements using traps suggest that backwashes containing jumps can advect approximately 2.5 times as much sediment offshore than a backwash not containing a hydraulic jump. The overall effect of hydraulic jumps appears to be to enhance offshore transport, especially in high-energy conditions, when infragravity backwashes are more common.
