A B S T R A C T This invention relates to a floating breakwater which includes a plurality of tubular members which carry upwardly directed fins which extend over the length of the members with the members arranged to form a structure which includes substantially parallel lee and sea walls with intermediate transverse members joining the walls to form compartments which are substantially triangular in plan, extend over the width of the breakwater and are open top and bottom in direction normal to the surface of the water with the structure in use being submerged to a depth at which the tubular members are located below water level to reduce the response rate of the structure to surface wave action and at which the fins project to above water level horizontally to enclose the compartments at water level, and buoyancy control compartments attached to the structure to be located at or above water level to ensure positive buoyancy of the breakwater.
