<p>An ocean wave producing structure (10, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100) having a support structure (14) and a web (12). The support structure (14) is fixed to the ocean floor (32) and the web (12) is arranged with its upswell end (12a) lower than its downswell end (12b) so that ocean swells (34a) travelling over the web (12) are forced upwardly to form into waves (34b). The shape and characteristics of the waves (34b) vary depending upon the gradients (24) of the sections (W1 to W8, 52 to 56) of the web (12). The support structure (14) allows ocean currents to flow through it and hence has a low impact upon the ocean environment.</p> |
