Looking more carefully, will show in most cases that the wave height of the breaking waves is not constant, but varies in time. Often one may observe that groups of relatively high waves are followed by groups of lower waves. This short wave groupiness may cause low frequency fluctuations in the nearshore zone by generating so called long waves. These are less noticeable, because of their longer time scale. This study was made to see whether it is possible to predict the generation of long waves in the nearshore zone due to the groupiness of obliquely incident short waves, and if so, extend an existing numerical model, SURFBEÀT [Roelvink, 1991] to the case of obliquely incident waves.
