Appendix D
Tables of Maximum
Overtopping Rates and Other
Information by Storm
Tables of wave parameters, storm surge, ponding level, setup, and over-
topping rate that correspond to the maximum overtopping rate for each storm are
provided for each existing profile. Reported wave heights and angles are the sig-
nificant wave heights and approach directions seaward of the reef after application
of the nearshore wave transformation model WAVTRAN. Wave angles are
expressed in deg relative to shore-normal, with 90 deg being a wave approaching
perpendicular to the shore. Reported wave heights correspond to peak overtopping
rate at the representative profile and may not be the maximum wave heights
experienced during the storm. Maximum overtopping rate for the plan profile is
1
All waves and water level components are in feet in all tables in this appendix. To convert feet to
meters, multiply by 0.3048. All maximum overtopping rates are in cubic feet per foot. To convert
cubic feet to cubic meters, multiply by 0.02831685.
