A simple model to predict the longshore current velocity at the breaker line on a beach with oblique wave incidence, is presented. The model balances driving and resistance terms (gradients of radiation and turbulent Reynolds stresses and bottom friction) to get a general expression for the velocity. This equation shows explicitely the influence of Iribarren's parameter on longshore current generation. It has been tested with field and laboratory data, obtaining a reasonable fit to measured values. The resulting (predictive) model is expected to be valid for any type of breakers though the calibration has been mainly done for spilling and plunging types, due to the scarcity of results for other breakers.

In the Ukishima region of Lake Kasumigaura, beach nourishment along with the construction of groins has been carried out to recover a sandy beach. After the beach nourishment, part of the nourishment sand was transported away from the beach, turning around the tip of the downcoast groin owing to the oblique wave incidence in winter. To enhance the stability of the beach, the groins were extended and a spur dike was constructed. To design these structures, a numerical simulation using the BG model was carried out, and the optimum shapes were determined by taking into account the seasonally changing wave direction. The effectiveness of the spur dike was numerically evaluated using the BG model.
