Short summary
The circulation of nearshore water is of primary importance for the health of coastal ecosystems and the coastal hazards, such as erosion. The present study focuses on the role played by bottom friction, which is particularly important in rocky or coral reef areas. Using field observations and numerical simulations, we show that the waves are able to increase the bottom friction and therefore affect the whole circulation and water level dynamics.
