Wahoo Wave

Intelligent Wave Attenuation

The Wahoo Wave is an efficiently-designed wave attenuator that provides excellent wave protection at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods. By incorporating heavily-tested, mass-produced components, as well as utilizing the water itself to provide mass, the Wahoo Wave delivers high performance at a low cost.

Reflection

The Wahoo Wave provides a solid barrier, up to four feet in depth, which reflects wave energy.

Absorption

The Wahoo Wave has a mass similar to competitive heavy-duty floating concrete wave attenuators and is anchored with Ocean Spring elastic mooring lines for maximum energy absorption.

Turbulence

The integrated ribs of the double-walled surface provide strength and rigidity to the assembly, while also acting to create wave turbulence, thereby redirecting energy and sapping overall wave strength. Additionally, the tubular shape of the attenuator similarly disrupts the natural flow of the wave.
