ABSTRACT Lee, J.H. and Kim, T.R., 2018. Study of High Waves caused by Slanting-fetch Effects along the Coast. In: Shim, J.-S.; Chun, I., and Lim, H.S. (eds.), Proceedings from the International Coastal Symposium (ICS) 2018 (Busan, Republic of Korea). Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 85, pp. 831–835. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Design wave height estimation for the ports and coastal structures are mainly based on the waves from offshore wind which have long fetches enough to develop high waves. The waves generated by short fetched land wind are usually neglected because they are thought to be small and short period waves. However, in case of land wind oblique to the long coast line with short fetch, unexpected long period high waves are developed along the coast by slanting-fetch effects. These high waves can damage human lives as well as coastal structures, but are difficult to predict using offshore wave measurement system. Therefore, it is important to understand the character...
