ABSTRACT:
A floating wave attenuator constructed to float and provide a breakwater to attenuate waves or the like. The wave attenuator includes an elongated pipe closed at its ends and attached to large, heavy deflector plates that extend downwardly and connect at their bottom ends to form a V-shaped configuration. The deflector plates are open on their ends to allow water therebetween to act as ballast and assist in retarding up and down movement of the wave attenuator in response to wave action. A deck structure is mounted to the top of the closed pipe to provide a walkway over the wave attenuator.
