Abstract
Based on extensive hydraulic model testing, the uncertainties of available standard models used to predict wave heights on shallow foreshores of coastal structures are quantified. Both wave transformation on the foreshore and at the structure are taken into account. Finally, improvements of the prediction models are proposed and recommendations on the selection of the models to be used are provided.
