The responses of the shoreline change to cyclic tidal changes were investigated by the spectral analysis using FFT method and a multivariate autoregressive model. The shoreline data set were obtained for 25 years at Hazaki Oceanographical Research Station (HORS) facing the Pacific Ocean. The power spectrum densities showed shoreline changes with a period of 14.76 days, which is the spring-neap cycle of the tide. The relative power contribution analysis showed the tidal range affects the shoreline change rate as the main factor of 14.76 days cyclic variability, and it was indicated the mechanisms are due to the effects of the seawater percolation and the groundwater effluent by the difference between the water table and the tidal level.
