6.10 Summary This chapter presents basic concepts concerning the nature of wind-generated waves and the analysis and prediction of these waves. This, coupled with the material presented in Chapters 2, 3, 4, and 9 supports the development of the wave climate for a given coastal location. The next chapter is concerned with wave forces on coastal structures and coastal structure stability requirements. The succeeding chapter is concerned with coastal processes and the stability of shorelines. Both chapters rely heavily on a knowledge of the coastal wave climate as well as the expected water level fluctuations that will occur.
