Breakwaters are protective and sheltering structures which aim to provide either protection from waves and currents for people and goods at the coast or sheltering conditions for ships and boats moored at the port, thus ensuring that port operations are performed in safe conditions. The strong water flow that thorough the type of mound surface that should be used to ensure an effective breakwater. It can help the path of ships and bot to go to port by helps in reducing turbulent waves. This research in to analyse the type of surface roughness that help in breakwater mound effectiveness. This paper showed the experiment of breakwater mound surface roughness using the Circulation Water Channel (CWC). Circulating water channels are facilities which can be used for conducting environmental, metrological and engineering studies. The roughness of the breakwater mound is very the important thing in help decrease the waves turbulent. The research will remind us to study more about the effectiveness of the rough surface of the breakwater mound.
