1. A wave train is observed approaching a coast that has straight parallel nearshore bottom contours that are oriented in a north-south direction. Where the water depth is 5 m the wave crests are observed to form an angle of 9° with the shoreline (waves from the southwest) and the wave period is measured to be 7.3 s. What is the incident wave direction in deep water? If the measured wave height at the 5 m depth is 2.2 m, what is the deep water wave height?
