Map Viewer

The map contains several layers containing information, amongst other things, on our survey schedules, control network, survey records, survey units, topographic profiles and survey unit boundaries.

One of the main features of the Map Viewer is the latest profile data from our topographic surveys. For each beach of interest, the latest profile chart will contain the most recent survey, the survey before and the original baseline, typically 2007. This is accessible via the SWCM Topographic Survey Units layer. These are kept up to date, making sure the latest data for any beach is accessible to view at any time.

In addition to this, you can locate our wave buoys, meteorological stations and tide gauges along the coast and access real-time data via the National Coastal Monitoring website.

Did you know you can also display the our Map Viewer on your mobile device by downloading the Explorer for ArcGIS app? Available on the Play Store and App Store.

Remember, you’ll need to download the data from the central archive on the National Coastal Monitoring website.
