Top panel: Infragravity wave height measured by the Signature1000 ADCPs at 14 m (blue) and 8 m (red) depth during the five-month campaign. The instrument at 8 m depth recorded higher infragravity wave heights than the instrument at 14 m depth. This indicates a growth of the infragravity waves as they move toward the coast. Bottom panel: Wave energy spectrum during the five-month campaign. The horizontal red lines indicate the infragravity frequency band. The energy at frequencies > 0.04 Hz is related to wind-generated waves.
