The 1DH Boussinesq module also allows for an estimate of the depth-aver-
aged undertow, which is the return flow below the wave trough. Outside the
surf zone the undertow is small and equal to Stokes drift. The calculation and
verification of the undertow inside the surf zone is presented in Madsen et al
(1997a)

p. 276ff. An example of the spatial variation of the undertow is
shown in Figure 4.70.
