Research on coastal dune dynamics has traditionally focused on the erosional impact of short-duration (hours to days), high-wave storm events on the most seaward dune, called the foredune. In contrast, research data on its subsequent slow (months to years), wind-driven recovery are rather rare, yet essential to aid studying wind-driven processes, identifying the most relevant wind-forcing conditions, and testing and improving dune-growth models. The present data set contains 39 digital elevation models and 11 orthophotos of the beach-foredune system near Egmond aan Zee, The Netherlands. The novelty of the data set lies in the combination of long-term observations (6 years; January 2013 to January 2019), with high temporal (intervals of 2\u20134 months) and spatial resolution (1 \u00d7 1 m) covering an extensive spatial domain (1.4 km alongshore). The 25-m high foredune eroded substantially in October 2014, with a maximum recession of 75 m3\/m, and subsequently recovered with a rate of approximately 15 m3\/m\/yr, although with substantial alongshore variability. The data set is supplemented with high-frequency time series of offshore wave, water level, and wind characteristics, as well as various annual subtidal cross-shore profiles, to facilitate its future application in coastal dune research.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/data4020073","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,21]],"date-time":"2019-05-21T10:52:51Z","timestamp":1558435971000},"page":"73","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["A Multi-Year Data Set of Beach-Foredune Topography and Environmental Forcing Conditions at Egmond aan Zee, The Netherlands"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"4","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9526-6087","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gerben","family":"Ruessink","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Geography, Faculty of Geosciences, Utrecht University, P.O.
