A sand beach erosion amount predicting method comprises the following steps that firstly, the breaking wave height Hb is calculated, Hb=0.39g<0.2>(TH0<2>)<0.4>, g is the gravitational acceleration, H0 is the deepwater wave height, T is the wave period, T0 is the wave duration time, and h is the sand beach water increasing depth; secondly, the wave speed u0, shown in the specification, at the sand beach position is calculated; thirdly, the wave number Ni corresponding to different wave heights is calculated; fourthly, the erosion shear stress caused to the beach face from the waves is calculated, Tauw=0.5FwRhowu0<2>, in the formula, Fw is the friction coefficient between water flow and a soil body, and rhow is the seawater density; fifthly, the sandy soil anti-erosion critical shear stress is calculated, tauc=2/3 ds (rhos-rhow) g tanphi, ds is the sandy soil median size, rhos is the sand grain density, and phi is the internal friction angle of sandy soil; and sixthly, the sand beach erosion amount shown in the specification is calculated, in the formula, Es is the wave erosion amount, Ni is the wave number corresponding to the ith wave height, Ks and a are conversion coefficients for converting the erosion force into the erosion amount, and a is 1.0. The method has the beneficial effects that steps are simple, and the result is reliable, and providing the theoretical guidance for sand beach disaster reduction and protection is the purpose.
