Abstract
Abstract Wave refraction diagrams are presented and discussed for Hawke Bay and for two nearshore areas within the Bay. Generally there are no marked refraction effects in the Bay as a whole, except near Cape Kidnappers and Portland Island. In the Napier Harbour area, Pania Rock and adjacent banks are the principal factors affecting the smooth pattern of wave fronts, For the Clifton-Awatoto area the direction of longshore currents produced by the refracted waves is shown to be predominantly northward.
