A 1:75-scale, three-dimensional hydraulic model was used to investigate the design of proposed breakwater modifications at Redondo Beach King Harbor, California, with respect to wave conditions in the harbor. The model reproduced approximately 8,800 ft of the California shoreline and included the existing harbor and offshore bathymetry in the Pacific Ocean to a depth of -60 ft. Improvement plans consisted of raising the crest elevation of portions on the north breakwater both with and without installing a transition layer of small stone, and extending the length and crest elevation of the south breakwater. An 80-ft-long unidirectional, spectral wave generator, and an Automated Data Acquisition and Control System were utilized in model operation.
