SaugatuckSaugatuck Harbor has two wave absorbers, with one in the north jetty and one in the south that were completed in December of 1999. They are slightly offset, with the northern absorber positioned more lakeward than the south. The wave absorbers are made up of 2.5-5 ton armor stone, 500-1000 lb underlayer stone and 1-50 lb bedding stone. The stone is placed at a 2H:1V slope. They are open to wave interaction on both the lake and channel sides, with a concrete walkway in the middle supported by H-piles. A wave rose was created using wave data from the years 1956-1997. From viewing the wave rose in Appendix B, it is evident that there is not one strong predominant direction. However, the highest percentage of waves, in deep water, come out of the southwest. The project depth is 16 feet. Recent Aerial Photo
