much greater increase of the initial over the stabilized wave set-up 

 (up to 100%) for the case of the ordinary storm water level (1.75 

 feet MSL) as compared to the relatively moderate increase of initial 

 over stabilized wave set-up (average below 30%) for the case of the 

 hurricane storm water level. The lower initial wave set-up values for 

 the hurricane storm water level is probably due to the model regime, 

 wherein the water depth over the berm crest and the calmer and deeper 

 water of the pool area serve to dampen the initial surge of water level 

 due to the wave action. 



The maximum wave run-up for the ordinary storm water level (1.75 

 feet MSL) was estimated as approximately 3 feet above SWL. The esti- 

 mated values are indicated in Table 2. The wave run-up for the hurri- 

 cane storm water level (8 feet MSL) was essentially nil. This was due 

 to the wave absorber placed at the shoreward end of the pool area which 

 absorbed essentially all of the energy which remained in the waves at 

 this point .
