The highest wave averages in Pangandaran reach 1.46 meters (Rizal AM, 2017) are potentially Cause beach abrasion. On the other hand, the cyclone storm can also arouse waves storm or storm surge that will soak and erode the beach like a storm jacob year 2006 which flooded the west coast of Pangandaran District as deep as 0.74 meters (Ningsih NS et al, 2007). The Pangandaran tourism sector, which is the majority located on the coast, will certainly be affected by abrasion. It also threatens the lives of people living closely with the coastline.
