Disclosed is a method and apparatus for dampening waves preferably comprising a wave pool having two portions, a first wave forming portion with an inclined section oriented obliquely relative to the travel direction of the waves that causes the waves to begin breaking, and a second wave dampening portion having a relatively deep solid chamber floor and a raised perforated floor above it for dampening the waves after they begin to break. The properties of the raised floor, including its porosity, its depth (relative to the chamber depth), and the characteristics of the waves to be dampened, including the wave height and shape, are taken into account in designing a dampening system that substantially dissipates the waves, which in turn, reduces wave reflections and rip currents that can interfere with the next oncoming waves, and thereby, help to maintain quality surfing waves at high frequencies without increasing pool size.

L'invention porte sur un procédé et sur un appareil pour amortir des vagues, lesquels comprennent de préférence une piscine à vagues comportant deux parties, une première partie de formation de vagues avec une section inclinée orientée obliquement par rapport à la direction de déplacement des vagues qui provoque le commencement de la rupture des vagues, et une seconde partie d'amortissement de vagues comportant un plancher de chambre solide relativement profond et un plancher perforé surélevé au-dessus de celui-ci pour amortir les vagues après qu'elles aient commencé à se rompre. Les propriétés du plancher surélevé, y compris sa porosité, sa profondeur (par rapport à la profondeur de chambre), et les caractéristiques des vagues devant être amorties, y compris la hauteur et la forme des vagues, sont prises en compte pour concevoir un système d'amortissement qui dissipe sensiblement les vagues, ce qui réduit alors les réflexions de vagues et les courants de retour qui peuvent interférer avec les vagues arrivantes suivantes, et, de ce fait, aider à maintenir des vagues de surf de qualité à des fréquences élevées sans augmenter la taille de la piscine.
