Nearshore Modeling

Many projects require the analysis of wave data well beyond the scope of the Wavewatch III wave model. In many locations, significant additional analysis will be required to determine the nearshore wave climate after the affects of wave shadowing, diffraction, refraction, and shoaling.

Graematter has the ability to rapidly (within a few days) create high resolution nearshore wave models which take into account a multitude of unique variables to derive accurate coastal predictions. Below is a working simulation of nearshore effects in the Mentaiwais islands.
