    Abstract
    This study analyses the sea level data measured simultaneously using S4DW and directional Wave Rider Buoy (WRB) off Ratnagiri, eastern Arabian Sea, located along the west coast of the Indian sub-continent. The objective of the study is to investigate the presence of infra-gravity waves as well as the source of infra-gravity waves that reach the near-shore regions of eastern Arabian Sea. Based on FFT analysis of the wave data, the estimated mean infragravity wave height is 0.04 m with a peak value of 0.08 m whereas the mean wave period of the infra-gravity waves is 60 s with a standard deviation of 8.9 s. Detailed analysis of the WRB data (wave period in the range of 0-30 s) provide reliable evidence indicating the presence of infra-gravity waves in the eastern Arabian Sea. The source of infra-gravity waves that propagate into the nearshore region could be either remotely or locally generated waves. However, it is observed that the presence of long-period gravity waves in the region has a direct influence on the infra-gravity waves. The amplitude of the infra-gravity is found to increase with the arrival of long period swell waves and vice-versa.
