Deepwater Surf Similarity Parameter = (Average of the Highest 1/3 of the Runups/Deepwater Wave Height*1.38)^(1/0.7)
ε₀ = (R_1/3/H_d*1.38)^(1/0.7)

What is Wave Runup?

Wave runup is the maximum vertical extent of wave uprush on a beach or structure above the still water level (SWL). It is the sum of wave set-up and swash uprush (see Swash zone dynamics) and must be added to the water level reached as a result of tides and wind set-up.
