What is Wave Runup?

Wave runup is the maximum vertical extent of wave uprush on a beach or structure above the still water level (SWL). It is the sum of wave set-up and swash uprush (see Swash zone dynamics) and must be added to the water level reached as a result of tides and wind set-up.

How to Calculate Mean Runup?

Mean Runup calculator uses Mean Runup = Deepwater Wave Height*0.88*Deepwater Surf Similarity Parameter^0.69 to calculate the Mean Runup, The Mean Runup formula is defined as the maximum onshore elevation reached by waves, relative to the shoreline position in the absence of waves. Mean Runup is denoted by R' symbol.
