This invention relates to a breakwater structure (10). More specifically, the invention relates to a breakwater structure (10) having a compound parabolic ramp surface capable of dissipating the energy of a wave by directing the wave against the force of gravity and by way of reflection. The breakwater structure (10) includes a ramp (12) having a compound parabolic surface defined by a portion of a first parabola (18) having a first axis of symmetry and by a portion of a second parabola (20) having a second axis of symmetry. The first and second axes of symmetry are out of phase with respect to one another and the compound parabolic surface of the ramp ( 12) acts to reduce the possibility of a wave, coming into contact with the ramp (12), from breaking, thereby dissipating the energy of the wave with minimal damage to the breakwater structure (10). |
