Synopsis

Practical methods to estimate irregular nearshore waves and water setup for open coasts

This guide presents easy-to-use techniques for predicting nearshore wave height, angle of approach, and water level setup under irregular sea states. It builds on established Goda methods and focuses on open coast sections with continuously shallowing bottoms. The approach blends wave refraction, directional spreading, and a surf-zone height model to produce practical estimates without requiring advanced theory.

The book emphasizes real-world use: it provides design curves, example problems, and step-by-step workflows to translate deepwater conditions into nearshore forecasts. While grounded in laboratory data and limited field observations, the methods are presented with cautions about applicability and limits.
What you’ll experience

• Clear, field-ready procedures for irregular waves and shore protection design
• A workflow that links deepwater wave height, period, and direction to nearshore outcomes
• Visual aids and curves that help you estimate nearshore height distributions and setup
• Discussion of sensitivities to input data and how small changes affect results

Ideal for engineers and designers tackling open-coast shoreline projects and shore protection assessments.
