Diffraction is a sudden change in the direction and intensity of waves after passing by a coastal feature or offshore obstruction.
The obstacle will block a portion of the wave's energy, forcing it to spread into the sheltered area behind the obstruction.
For example, if a west or southwest swell reaches a south-facing surf spot with a curved shoreline, the energy of the waves will diffract - or bend - toward the protected or hidden area of the coastline.
