Knowledge of total water levels, of which the heights of wind waves are an important part, is critical to the successful design of coastal shore protection projects. In this report, a preliminary examination is made of the behavior of two wave height distribution models using a small but diverse set of test data. Data are derived from a Waverider buoy deployed near the 8-m-depth contour about 1 km offshore the Coastal Engineering Research Center's Field Research Facility near Duck, NC. Data are classified by directional characteristics derived from a high-resolution, linear array, directional wave gage also located near the 8-m contour and just north of the Waverider buoy.
