Abstract
The design, construction, and operation of many coastal engineering works is considerably dependent on the principles of wave refraction and diffraction. This paper develops and illustrates principles that enable the estimation of wave conditions at specified points in shallow water or at the shore line. The wave characteristics can be developed from weather observations or forecasts, or from wave recorders.Keywords
