This note presents the 2D and 3D physical model tests carried out on the new breakwater in the fishing harbour of Mirbat (Sultanate of Oman), designed for a cyclonic wave Hs = 6.0 m and for a 200 year return period wind wave Hs = 3.2 m. This study aims at investigating the effect of wave obliquity on overtopping and stability, for a rubble mound breakwater with CoreLoc armour layer, under cyclonic wave climates.
