In the present paper optimum height of skirt of Skirt Pontoon Floating Breakwater are reported by physical model. 54 tests on 3 types (skirt heights : 8,16 and 24 cm) of skirt pontoon floating breakwater is conducted in the wave flume of Soil Conservative and Watershed Research Center. Hydrodynamical and geometrical parameters were analysised. In this research optimum height of skirt to water depth ratio is determined.

Keywords: floating breakwater, skirt pontoon breakwater, floating pontoon whit a membrane
