Knowledge of distributions of heights of sea waves under realistic oceanic conditions is critical to the successful design of coastal shore protection projects. In this report, a simple examination is made of wave height distributions in sea states characterized by energy spectra with mUltiple peaks, i.e. , having energy centered at two or more distinct frequencies. Sea states with broad frequency spectra are also included since such seas are composed of waves of diverse frequencies. These cases violate the assumptions of unimodal, narrow spectra that are formally required for the conventionally used Rayleigh distribution of wave heights to apply.
