Starting from a provisional hypothesis, presented by the author at the 11 Conference on Coastal Engineering, this paper deals with the further development of our knowledge about dune erosion during storm conditions. Results of measurements in the prototype are mentioned. Some speculations about the occuring processes during storms are given. However, the problem has not yet been solved. Further measurements in the prototype will be necessary.
