Wave Height given Radiation Stress Component Formula

Wave Height = sqrt((Radiation Stress Component*8)/Mass Density*[g]*cos(Wave Crest Angle)*sin(Wave Crest Angle))
H = sqrt((Sxy*8)/ρ*[g]*cos(α)*sin(α))

What is Longshore Current?

Wave and Wind induced longshore currents flow parallel to the shoreline and are strongest in the surf zone, decaying rapidly seaward of the breakers. These currents are generated by gradients in momentum flux (radiation stress) due to the decay of obliquely incident waves and the longshore component of the wind.
