Presently doing an upgrade on a breakwater in an inland lake.

Need a simple chart (if there is such a thing) relating wind speed, length of reach to wave height.

Then, if there is such a thing, a chart of wave height to recomended size of armor stone.

Site has reaches varying from one to three miles. Wind speeds can reach 70 mph once or twice annually.

Thanks much. For my simple job this is very suitable.

Anyone with the armor stone scoop?
