Abstract
This study investigates the characteristics of wave setup behind a multipurpose artificial reef that protects shores properly as well as provides spots for marine recreations. The artificial reef has an inclined crown to obtain suitable wave breakers for surfing and bodyboard. Through a series of hydraulic experiments in two-dimensional flume, it was clear that the multipurpose artificial reef shows lower wave setup in the wide range of incident wave period and wave height in comparison with a conventional artificial reef with flat crown. This result suggests the smaller mass transport over the reef crown and it may reduce the velocities of peculiar nearshore circulation around the reef.
