Maximum Wave Heights and Critical Water Depths for Irregular Waves in the Surf Zone.

Abstract

The nearshore irregular wave deformation model of Goda (1975) is used to develop prediction curves for the magnitude and location of peak wave heights in the surf zone as a function of profile slope and offshore wave steepness. An example that demonstrates the use of these curves is presented. (Author)
