This paper considers effects of waves reflected from breakwaters on small vessels near or entering harbours. The implications for the safety of small vessels navigating in regions of crossing wave trains are discussed. Studies to examine the nature of the sea state in areas where such conditions are created by reflective breakwaters or other coastal structures are summarised. Recommendations are provided for considering the implications for vessel safety when small craft must traverse such areas.
