- •
We investigate wave climate influencing the Niger Delta (ND) coast.
- •
A distinct change in wave climate characterized by an increase occurs since the 1980s.
- •
Erosional trend towards the west of delta coast and accretion towards the east.
- •
AMO, NAO, EA, and ENSO explain major proportion of the interannual wave variability.
- •
Waves in concomitant with river fluxes have a strong effect on ND coastline changes.
