Abstract:Barbers Point Harbor, Hawaii, is located on the southwest coastline of the island of Oahu (Figure 1). Figure 2 shows the present harbor complex (subsequently referred to as Plan la), consisting of an entrance channel, deep-draft harbor, barge basin, and a private resort marina (often referred to as the West Beach Marina). The entrance channel is 140 m (450 ft) wide, 945 m (3,100 ft) long, and 13 m (42 ft) deep, referenced to mean lower low water (mllw). The deep-draft harbor basin is 12 m (38 ft) deep, 700 m (2,300 ft) wide, and 640 m (2,100 ft) long, covering an area of 0.37 sq km (92 acres). Rubble-mound wave absorbers line approximately 1,128 m (3,700 ft) of the inner shoreline of the harbor basin. The barge basin, located just seaward of the harbor on the south side of the entrance channel, has little shelter from incident wave energy. It is 67 m (220 ft) wide, 396 m (1,300 ft) long, and 7 m (23 ft) deep. West Beach Marina was built on the west side of the deep-draft harbor. It shares the same entrance channel with the harbor, is 4.6 m (15 ft) deep, and covers approximately 0.08 sq km (20 acres). The marina was designed to accommodate 350 to 500 pleasure boats.
