When boat wakes reach the docks.

Which WaveEater model is used for boat wakes?

There is no one model for every wake. The estimator considers what you are protecting, wave height and water depth before suggesting a starting layout. WaveEater reviews wave length, fetch and other site conditions for the final design.

In one client test on Lake Buchanan, Texas, a boat ballasted with 3,000 pounds made a 3 foot wake and ran toward and along a WaveEater system. Roughly 75 percent of the wake was observed to dissipate as it passed through. That is one observed test, not a rating for every site.

Can a floating breakwater stop every wave?

A floating breakwater reduces wave energy; the amount depends on the wave and the installed system. A site review is needed before making a performance claim for your marina or dock.

Where can I see one in use?

WaveEater's video page includes a client's wake test on Lake Buchanan, Texas, using a boat ballasted for wakeboarding and surfing. It also shows a Columbia River boating club installation that replaced a log boom.
