Abstract;Kato and Nobuoka (2005) presented the formulae to estimate bound wave heights for wave spectra with three directional spreading parameter values of Smax. This paper generalized their idea and presented a formula that can estimate the bound wave height for arbitrary Smax. Bound wave heights have been calculated from a large number of observed wave data and the analysis has been carried out to establish the relationship between the bound wave height and the total infragravity wave height. The study has revealed that the ratio of the bound wave height to the total infragravity wave height depends on the Ursell number and the water depth. (author abst.)
