Description From the wave refraction diagrams it is delineated that the Jaigad Head and Warori Bluff are the zones of wave energy convergence and the Narvan and Ambwah bays the areas of wave energy divergence. The presence of two distinct mineral phases noticed at the Jaigad, Ambwah and Varvade bays shows that there are two different circulations of sediment movements. The presence of natural barriers restricts the movement of sediment along the coast. The sand bar at the mouth of the Jaigad Bay has different orientations during the monsoon and non-monsoon periods causing obstruction to navigation during the former period
