Mr. McCoy, Your knowledge of water is proved here. You mentioned that a flat hard surfaces pushes water away, and a curved soft surface pulls water or energy. From the 1930's or 50's Sebastian inlet in Florida, East coast of USA has a permanent man made inlet. On the North side of the inlet was a vertical concrete panel seawall facing North near the shore and angling SE towards the ocean from approx. 90 feet from shore to 400 feet. The surfing wave there had exceptional tubes and reflective waves bounding from the sea wall increased (doubled) height of waves at first peak in most swell directions. About 2001 the jetty was repaired and they said it will not affected the wave. Batter pilings were installed North of the old concrete panels. This broke the wave energy so it doesn't bounce off the flat faced jetty now. The wave energy is broken by separate pilings. The inlet jetty and wave interaction and refraction has been destroyed. Plans are underway to restore the jetty and extensive study has been done on the project. Best regards Mr. McCoy. PS. Surfing an 8 foot Nugget for 5 years now exclusively.
