Marina wave protection

Protect the water in front of your slips.

A floating breakwater can reduce incoming wave energy before it reaches docks and moored boats. The right model and layout depend on the conditions at your marina.

The problem

Waves reach the boats before they reach the shore.

Marinas can be exposed to wind waves, passing boat traffic and wakes from watersports. WaveEater systems sit between the incoming water and the area being protected.

Choose the layout for the water

A single line or multiple strings may be considered after wave height, wave length, depth and fetch are reviewed.

Before a drawing

What WaveEater needs to know.

What are you protecting?

Tell us whether the exposure is at slips, a fuel dock, a launch ramp or a shoreline. Include the length of waterfront you need to protect and where it is located.

What does the water do?

Record the largest waves you see, their source, the water depth at the proposed line and how much the water level changes. If you know the wave length or fetch, include it. These details affect the model, number of strings and anchoring design.

What can a budget estimate tell you?

The online estimate suggests a model and shows a preliminary material cost. WaveEater must review the site and confirm a suitable layout and firm price.

The installation list names marinas and yacht clubs; the video page shows WaveEater at Lake Nighthorse, on the Columbia River and at a Philadelphia shipyard.
