Abstract
For some localities of the Djursland coast an attempt is made to estimate the influence of the fetch on wave power. Variations of fetch and coastal material seem to be of major importance for the configuration of the coast, while vertical movements seem to be quite insignificant. For a geomorphological description of the Djursland coast, see Axel Schou, ‘The Coastline of Djursland’ (previous paper).
