0.49 meter), respectively. Average breaker periods at Jupiter were about 

 1.1 times greater than at Boca Raton and 1.2 times greater than at Holly- 

 wood. The lowest average breaker height occurred in August at Jupiter 

 and Hollywood, but in June at Boca Raton. The highest average breaker 

 height occurred in October at Jupiter, February at Boca Raton, and Decem- 

 ber at Hollywood. 



Figure 30 is a comparison of the monthly breaker averages from Boca 

 Raton with similar visual observation data collected at the Hillsboro 

 Inlet Light Station and with wave gage data collected at Lake Worth. The 

 wave gage data were collected during the study period; the Hillsboro Inlet 

 data were collected between January 1955 and December 1965. A good corre- 

 lation can be seen between the two sets of visual observations of height 

 and period, and the wave gage height data. Lower heights and periods
