There is inadequate information to provide design guidance. It is unfortunate that the offshore
directional wave gauge at Pentwater malfunctioned during the spring 2003 deployment. Plans are to
redeploy the prototype wave gauges at Pentwater in early 2004. If adequate data is obtained, a
physical model will be constructed and unidirectional spectral waves reproduced to study the pocket
wave absorber design parameters. Once the wave conditions have been validated at various locations
