The value of barrier islands for protecting the mainland shoreline from locally-generated wave attack is evaluated through the use of the shallow water wave prediction model HISWA. Critical to this work is HISWA's ability to simultaneously generate and dissipate waves through wind stress and wave breaking processes, respectively. A series of tests with an idealized barrier/bay configuration is used to define the conditions in which the removal of a barrier island, as through erosion, will result in a significantly increased wave height at the mainland shoreline. Due to the depth-limited nature of waves in shallow bays, the results are a complex function of the wind speed, bay width, and bay depth. In general, barriers fronting wide, shallow bays have little potential to protect the mainland shoreline from wind-wave attack, while those associated with narrow, deep bays have a large potential. For intermediate conditions, the results may depend on a wide range of complicating factors which are discussed, though not quantitatively accounted for in the current treatment.
