A Hydraulic Model Investigation of the wave-action problems in Mission Bay Harbor was conducted to develop and test several plans of improvement proposed for reducing wave heights within Quivera Basin and Glen Rick Cove to a satisfactory level. The 1:100-scale model, molded in cement mortar, reproduced the portion of the harbor requiring remedial action, and sufficient coastline and offshore bathymetry to permit accurate simulation of storm-wave attack in the area. A 60-ft-long wave machine and electrical wave height measuring and recording apparatus were utilized in model operation. It was concluded that modifying the curved portion of the south bank of the entrance channel to a series of right-angled steps would effectively provide adequate protection to Quivera Basin and Glen Rick Cove during attack by short-period storm waves.
