Table 4. Contributing factors to total wave runup (wave setup and wave runup) at Australian fur seal (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus) breeding colonies in Bass Strait, south-eastern Australia.

Contributing factors include significant wave height (Hs), peak wave period (Tp) and beach gradient, which are modelled to provide total wave runup.
