Angle of Wave Incidence in Shore Protection Formulas

Angle of Wave Incidence is the angle between the wave propagation direction and the normal to the coastline or the angle between the wavefront and the coastline. And is denoted by φ_br. Angle of Wave Incidence is usually measured using the Degree for Angle. Note that the value of Angle of Wave Incidence is always positive.
