It depends on the bay and direction of wind/waves. The waves are refracted by headlands etc. I've seen extreme example at Lulworth Cove which has a narrow entrance, couldn't find images on net but found this http://geographyfieldwork.com/WaveRefraction.htm
At lulworth the waves also bounce back off the shore at times, again no photos.
