Wave Scenario Results of Proposed Sediment Borrow Pit 3 on the Nearshore Wave Climate of Breton Island, LA
August 16, 2017
Provided here are the SWAN wave model input of grid 4 with pit 3 configuration and output of significant wave height, dominant wave period, and mean wave direction resulting from simulation of wave scenarios at the Breton Island, LA, as described in USGS Open-File Report 2015-1055 (https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20151055). There are 128 individual scenarios that are based on significant wave height (H) and mean wave direction (D). There are 8 bins for significant wave height (H1-H8) that range from 0 meters to 6 meters in intervals of 0.5 meters (0-2 meters) and 1 meter (2-6 meters). There are 16 bins for mean wave direction (D1-D16) that range from 0 degrees to 360 degrees in intervals of 22.5 degrees. Of the 128 scenarios, 12 had no data and therefore are absent from the list below.

Effects of proposed sediment borrow pits on nearshore wave climate and longshore sediment transport rate along Breton Island, Louisiana
As part of a plan to preserve bird habitat on Breton Island, the southernmost extent of the Chandeleur Islands and part of the Breton National Wildlife Refuge in Louisiana, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service plans to increase island elevation with sand supplied from offshore resources. Proposed sand extraction sites include areas offshore where the seafloor morphology suggests suitable...
