The chronicles of nearshore morphology and surficial beach deposits provide valuable information about the nature of the beach condition and the depositional environment. It imparts an understanding about the spatial and temporal relationship of nearshore waves and its influence over the distribution of beach sediments. This article contains data about wave and sediment dynamics of the ten sandy beaches along the central Tamil Nadu coast, India. This present dataset comprises nearshore wave parameters, breaker wave type, beach morphodynamic state, grain size distribution and weight percentage of heavy and light mineral distribution. The dataset will figure out the beach morphology and hydrodynamic condition with respect to the different monsoonal season. This will act as a field reference to realize the coastal dynamics in an open sea condition. The nearshore entities were obtained from the intensive field survey between January 2011 and December 2011, while characteristics of beach sediments are examined by the chemical process in the laboratory environment.
近岸地貌和海滩表层沉积物的记录提供了有关海滩状况性质和沉积环境的宝贵信息。它有助于了解近岸波浪的时空关系及其对海滩沉积物分布的影响。本文包含印度泰米尔纳德邦中部海岸十个沙滩的波浪和沉积物动力学数据。这个数据集包括近岸波浪参数、碎波类型、海滩地貌动力状态、粒度分布以及重矿物和轻矿物分布的重量百分比。该数据集将揭示不同季风季节的海滩地貌和水动力条件。这将作为一个实地参考，以了解公海条件下的海岸动力学。近岸实体数据是在2011年1月至2011年12月期间通过密集的实地调查获得的，而海滩沉积物的特征则在实验室环境中通过化学过程进行研究。
