Abstract

In this study, we present wave climate analysis at specific location points in deep water of Adriatic Sea and refracted waves distribution in Porto-Romano coastal area in order to determine the wave energy distribution. The analysis of wave energy distribution for this coastal area and the design of wave refraction plans are the first step to find effective solutions for coast and harbour protection. The results from wave climate analysis show us that the most extreme waves are generated from south directions at Adriatic Albanian coast. The analysis of refraction plans for Porto-Romano coastal area illustrates gaining of the maximum wave at Porto-Romano harbour from the south-west direction.
