Short summary
The nearshore wave characteristics are presented during the active sea/land breeze period based on data measured at 5 m and 15 m water depth in the eastern Arabian Sea. Prior to the sea breeze, the wave field is dominated by swell and during the sea breeze, wind-sea dominates with superimposed swell. Reduction in the wave height of wind-sea is around 20 % and that of the swell is around 10 % from 15 m to 5 m water depth.
