A method is developed in which an optimum design of breakwaters s achieved by taking into account wave climatological uncertainties and he potential maintenance risk as function of these uncertainties. Wave climatological ncertainties result from small sampling and errors of measurement f hindcast calculations. The economic impact which results from these uncertainties on the cost of breakwaters clearly evidenced the need for long‐term ccurate measurement programs. However, because of the required duration, these programs can only be conceived as an investment for future generations.
