• This chapter discusses the modeling of morphodynamical storm impacts on coasts. It gives an overview of classes of models, the physical processes that each class resolves, and the model class applicability on the different coastal environments such as sandy, gravel and coral/rock coasts, as well as coasts with hard structures and vegetation. With respect to coastal impact modeling, and specifically impacts on sandy coasts, two general types of model classes can be identified: empirical models and process‐based models. The chapter finds that there are ‘pure’ empirical models, but there are no practical ‘pure’ process‐based models. To date, every process‐based model includes some representation of processes by empirical closure. Field data of storm events, with well‐documented pre‐existing conditions, hydrodynamic boundary conditions of waves, wind and surge, and the storm impact measured directly after the storm, are needed to validate models on the prototype scale.
