Dana Point juts out into the Pacific Ocean, about eight miles from Newport Beach to the north, and has a well-protected port area that's extremely popular with boaters who visit it. Dana Point itself is located to the west of the cove and is immediately noticeable for its bold cliff-like appearance, which contrasts with the soft sandy beaches so typical of this area. Note that this table shows the polls in fathoms, not in feet. One breaststroke equals six feet deep. The flashing green buoy 1 marks the beginning of the approach to the port opening at the west end of Dana Point.
Once you've cleared flashing green buoy 1, you can head to red buoy 2, two at the mouth of the port, or blinking green buoy 3, which marks the southernmost of the two breakwaters bordering the cove. The depths inside the port range from 9 to 15 feet. Local advisories for boaters are available online in the U.S. UU.
In the CMS, both the western and eastern breakwaters were specified as permeable structures, through which wave transmission, flow and sediment filtration were implemented. Figure 2 shows the rectangular grid domain of the CMS, which consists of 399 ft 327 cells surrounding the Dana Point port. The water depth ranges from 0 m at Baby Beach to 9 m in the entrance channel to the port, inside the marina, and increases to more than 10 m outside the western breakwater. The coastal zone deepens even deeper to a few hundred meters and is open to the Pacific Ocean.
A variable-resolution network system was created to discretize the entire port and the offshore region, allowing for a much finer network resolution (5 m) in areas of great interest, such as the port and breakwaters. The model domain extends approximately 5 km along the coast and 4 km offshore, and the maritime limit of the domain reaches the 300 m isobate. The arrival of European colonists to the area began with the expedition to Portolá (1769-1770). Starting in 1776, the inhabitants of the village of Ubange, near Dana Point, were transferred to the Mission of San Juan Capistrano to convert to Christianity and be exploited as labor to work on the land of the mission.
In 1778, dissatisfaction with the missions led to the formation of a revolt by the tribal leader Cinquantó, who was pre-emptively stopped by the Spanish. The port, built in the 1960s and opened on July 31, 1971, houses a marina, shops and restaurants, and is the starting point of the Catalina Express, a shuttle service to and from the city of Avalon, on Catalina Island. The entire Dana Point Harbor, including the shops and restaurants of Embarcadero Marina, is about to be completely demolished and remodeled. The current vintage nautical style is being abandoned by a minimalist technological concept that uses metal roofs and minimalist gardens. Edward Doheny was preparing for his criminal trial for bribery in the Teapot Dome scandal, and on February 16, 1929, Ned Doheny and Hugh Plunkett, his friend and secretary, who were to testify at the trial, died in a murder that remains unsolved.
In 1931, as a memorial to Ned, Petroleum Securities Company, Doheny's family business, donated 41.4 acres (168,000 m) to the state of California, which is now Doheny State Beach. The Capistrano Beach properties, which had not been improved, passed into the hands of Edward Doheny and, after his death in 1935, to his wife and heirs. By 1944, all properties had been sold to individuals. The Doheny family also financed the construction of what was then called St.
The chapel soon grew, received canonical status as a parish, and moved to its current location atop a cliff in Dana Point, overlooking Doheny State Beach. Seabirds, such as double-crested cormorants, find abundant food at Dana Point SMCA, while dolphins, seals and sea lions are often seen just behind the waves. According to Baum and Burnes, historians of Dana Point, * Eldridge preferred two dominant features in their houses: a typical Spanish roof and the use of large beams on the ceilings of the rooms main. While this model application does not include the influx of sand due to beach erosion on the western open boundary, the extensive erosion that occurs around Dana Point demonstrates that the sediments accumulated around the port could be due to erosion of the Dana Point promontory or to be supplied by sandy material from beach erosion on the west side of the promontory.
The southern end of the SMCA of Dana Point was known as Killer Dana, a strong, breaking wave that surrounded the tip and was a popular surf spot among locals. Fire protection at Dana Point is provided by the Orange County Fire Authority and the Doctor's Ambulance ambulance service. Dana Point was a popular port for ships engaged in the fur trade with the nearby San Juan Capistrano Mission. The Dana Point Chamber of Commerce organizes the annual Turkey Trot, which includes a 5 km, 10 km race and a race for children ages 5 to 12, which was voted one of the best destinations for Thanksgiving by Fodor's Magazine.
The present study applies the methodology that simulates the permeability of rubble mound structures (Reed 20 in the CMS) to the port of Dana Point, on the southern coast of California.

The city was named after the promontory of Dana Point, which in turn was named after Richard Henry Dana Jr. Dana Point had a remarkable surfing history and was home to many of the first companies that produced surf products.

On the bluffs at the southern end of the SMCA, the Dana Point Nature Interpretation Center offers informative tours about nature and history. Chia-Chi Lu (personal communication, December 22 and 20) indicated that during the winter there is significant erosion of the beaches on the west side of Dana Point.
At the Dana Point SMCA, there are exposed outcrops of shale rock along the coast, sandstone cliffs that rise above the beach, and 120,000-year-old marine terrace formations in the surrounding hills.
