Shoreline change models are not applicable to simulating a randomly fluctuating beach system in which no trend in shoreline position is evident. In particular, GenCade is not applicable to calculating shoreline change in the following situations that involve beach change unrelated to coastal structures, boundary conditions, or spatial differences in wave-induced longshore sand transport:
- Beach change inside inlets or in areas dominated by tidal flow
- Beach change produced by wave-generated currents
- Storm-induced beach erosion in which cross-shore sediment transport processes are dominant
- Scour at structures
Limitations of GenCade:
- No wave reflection from structures
- No direct provision for changing tide level
- Basic limitations of shoreline change modeling theory
