Excerpt from The Bulletin of the Beach Erosion Board Office, Chief of Engineers, Washington, D. C, Vol. 4: July 1, 1950 The boundary around San Pedro Bay in Figure 2 denotes the area covered by the detailed refraction diagrams presented in Figures 3 - 5° These large scale diagrams were constructed using a crest interval of one wave period, Thewave crests have been completed only up to the outer breakwater° In order to show quantitatively the intensity of wave energy for the wave crests at the breakwater and adjacent beaches bar graphs have been drawn° The lengths of the bars are proportional to the refraction factors accord ing to the scale in the legendo The refraction factors have been computed assuming breaking waves only where the bars are located on the beaches west and east of the breakwater.
