In this paper, the kinematics of the tsunami wave ray and wave front above an uneven bottom is studied. The formula to determine the wave height along a ray tube is obtained. The exact analytical solution for the wave-ray trajectory above the bottom slope is derived. This solution gives the possibility to determine within the wave-ray approach the tsunami wave heights in an area with a sloping bottom relief. The distribution of the wave-height maxima in the area with the sloping bottom is compared to the one obtained by the numerical computation with a shallow-water model.
