It contains descriptions of waves under different sea conditions and 
hindeast period histograms for different wind speeds and directions. 
Tables A-1 through D-1 present basic wave data which include wave height 
and period for each month, average duration of waves with specified sea con- 
ditions, seasonal wave roses, a wave frequency graph, and a duration table for 
waves greater than or equal to a slated height.
