X‑Band coastal radar images surface waves by exploiting Bragg scattering from short gravity‑capillary waves. The left panel shows an instantaneous radar return (GIF). Aggregating returns over time (right panel) reveals persistent wave transformation and likely breaking patterns along bars, shoals, and the surf zone.
