What causes incoming ocean waves to bend so that they are nearly parallel to the shoreline?

Incoming ocean waves bend and become nearly parallel to the shoreline due to refraction. This occurs because the part of the wave closest to the shore starts to slow down as the water becomes shallower. As a result, the wave bends or refracts towards the shore, resulting in an almost parallel orientation to the coastline.
