@trepolpen - The height of the seawall is measureable, as is the slope of the beach over the shingle, also the height above my sight line in relation to the Jubilee Pool wall, taking excess above that in proportion, above horizon line to a fixed distance gives me 32 feet in all. That is a lot of water.
Strange you say that, as I have started calculations already, as well as others that I have seen; I want to know how much pressure (taking into account speed, height and wind, as well as resistance pressure brought about by the anti-overtopping head ) as well as its weight. I will post it up later when finished. These tops look very impressive, but they are partly air. I have been trying to photograph the heads themselves to get the proportion. Thankfully these impact waves do not reach the seawall. So much is made of the waves hitting the seawall, but they are the result of the wall itself, rather than the height of waves; often a great lift is given from a very level sea. It depends upon the foreshore section mostly, as to how much of the ocean under current tube reaches impact point.
