Field measurements of cross-shore velocity and water surface elevation from a natural barred surf zone during two storm events confirm the presence of undertow. The undertow is characterized by: i) mean cross-shore velocities reaching 0.20 m s" 1 and directed offshore; ii) mean cross-shore velocity decreasing towards the surface with occasional reversals in the mean flow to a landward direction in the upper water column; iii) a strongly oscillatory velocity field with speeds increasing towards
