Seasonal wave height distributions for Gage 625, 1985 exceeded 2 m, 2 percent during January through March, percent during April through June, and only percent during July through September. Wave peri- ods of 10, 12, and 14 sec or longer tended to occur most frequently during July through December, while periods of 8 sec were measured over 25 percent of the time during January through June. 51. The distribution of wave directions for the year, based on daily visual observations (Figure 17), revealed that waves approached the pier from the south side 60 percent of the time. Seasonal distributions of the wave directions indicate approximately an even split between north and south for January through March, while approximately 70 percent of the waves approached from the south during April through September.
