Why do waves at the beach often strike parallel to the shore despite the fact that the wind is blowing the waves in at an angle?
There are many factors that determine the direction that waves take. Out in deep water, wind and surface currents affect the direction of waves. When you get closer to the coast the shape and contour of the earth's surface affects the wave's direction more.As a wave becomes shallow it slows down. If the wave is at an angle to the shallow part of the shore, the wave bends and becomes more parallel to the beach. Also most beaches are not actually straight, they curve so there are parts of the wave that are parallel to the shore.

What is wave motion?
Wave action describes the 'behaviour' of the waves. Waves can either be constructive or descrutive. Constructive waves act to build up the beach, this occures when more sediment( sand) is deposited onto the beach and less( sediment) is removed with the receding waves. Destructive waves are the opposite of constructive waves, this is when more sediment is removed than is deposited onto the beach.
