dc.description.abstractVariations in nearshore wave power at four shallow water locations along the east and west coast of India are examined based on the measured wave data for one-year period. The study shows that along the west coast of India, 83-85 percent of the annual wave power is during the summer monsoon period (June-September), whereas at Visakhapatnam (on the east coast), 55 percent of the annual wave power is during the summer monsoon period. Along Puducherry coast in the east, wave power is relatively less with maximum value of 31.8 kW m sup(-1). The average wave power during the summer monsoon is high (15.5-19.3 kW m sup(-1)) along the west coast of India. The study shows that the annual average wave power (1.8-7.6 kW m sup(-1)) along the locations studied is much lower than that available for temperate zones.
