ABSTRACT:
There is provided a wave attenuation device for abating waves and the erosion of a shorefront of a body of water. The device includes a plurality of rows of hollow tubes for receiving waves therethrough. Each tube in a row is in a side-by-side relation to its adjacent tubes and has its centerline positioned basically perpendicular to the shorefront. The device also includes a plurality of first and second horizontal supports, a plurality of vertical supports, and bracket and bolts for connecting one of the plurality of vertical supports to one of the first and one of the second horizontal supports to retain the plurality of rows of tubes in position with respect to each other. The device may include a structure to anchor the device in place in a body of water.
