TRAVEL TIME FOR PERIODIC WAVES ON BEACHES OF SMALL CONSTANT SLOPE,

Abstract

Graphs are presented for rapidly estimating the time required for ocean waves to travel between any two near shore points on a beach with parallel depth contours. Results cover wave periods from 3 to 18 seconds, deep water refraction angles of 0 degrees to 70 degrees and all small beach slopes. A similar graph is presented for unrefracted wave groups with wave periods of 5, 10, 15, and 20 seconds. (Author)
