This paper uses the Roughness-length method to show how the Fractal Dimension of a shore platform profile can be obtained. The higher the value of the fractal dimension, the higher is the roughness of the platform. The studied profile is situated in Houghton Bay on the south coast of Wellington, New Zealand. The fractal dimension of the profile under consideration was found to be 1.314. However, one profile is not sufficient to provide information about the surface roughness of a shore platform. Therefore, a number of profiles should be taken to have an idea about surface roughness.
