This MCP server provides deterministic oceanographic calculations to model how swell energy transforms as it moves from deep to shallow water. By applying Snell's Law for refraction and Green's Law for height transformation, it allows AI agents to predict wave direction changes, height multipliers, and wave steepness. Use get_refracted_wave_properties to calculate full physical transformations, get_refraction_summary for quick comparisons, or validate_swell_stability to check if a wave is approaching its breaking limit.

Calculate the properties of a swell with a 20 degree angle in deep water, moving at 15 m/s, into shallow water moving at 5 m/s, with an initial height of 2 meters and a wavelength of 15 meters.

The wave will refract to an angle of 9.59 degrees. The predicted shallow water height is 2.58 meters, with a wave steepness of 0.17. Since the steepness is above 0.14, the wave is predicted to break.

Give me a summary of the refraction for a 10m swell at 12 m/s, 30 degrees angle, moving into water with 4 m/s speed.

The wave height multiplier is 1.85 and the angle change is 21.45 degrees.

Is a wave with a steepness of 0.12 stable?

Yes, the wave is stable with a safety margin of 0.02.

The server utilizes Snell's Law to calculate the refraction angle and Green's Law to approximate the change in wave height as it enters shallower water.
