Vortex-induced suspension of sediment in the surf zone

•A major mechanism of sediment suspension by organized vortices produced under violent breaking waves in the surf zone was identified.•Effect of the vortex-induced flows was incorporated into a suspension model.•The model proposed reasonably predicts the measured sediment concentration due to violen...
