Abstract
An approximate analytical assessment of long wave development due to nonlinear shoaling is obtained and verified against wave-flume experiments. The phase averaged equation for the nonlinear evolution of shoaling waves by Agnon and Sheremet serves as a starting point. Their shoaling interaction function is significantly simplified through the mild slope assumption. Results, which may be used to assess the long wave input for engineering applications such as harbor resonance studies, are given.

Acknowledgments
The present work emerged from a study that M.S. began in the summer of 1996, while visiting the International Research Center for Computational Hydrodynamics (ICCH) in Denmark. He is grateful to Professor Per A. Madsen and the staff at ICCH for their hospitality. Many fruitful discussions with Professor Yehuda Agnon are much appreciated.
