This is a brief presentation of the state of the art regarding the theory and modeling techniques of shallow water wave phenomena. A discussion is incorporated pointing up a substantial need for the modification of an existing facility or the development of a new facility capable of characterizing a realistic, shallow water wave environment by including uneven bottom topography. Beach and surf statistics are presented to serve as guides in setting the requirements for such a facility. Existing U.S. towing tanks and seakeeping basins that possess a surf zone testing capability of amphibious assault craft are evaluated and a beach design is proposed for the Maneuvering and Seakeeping Basin (MASK) at the Naval Ship Research and Development Center (NSRDC).
