Abstract: A lot of researches have been conducted to develop effective wave-retaining beach structures that can minimize wave energy and deliver positive benefits. Waves also generate energy that can be used. Now ocean waves have been used as energy sources for electricity generation. The purpose and objective of this research is to consider the development of energy generation breakwater technology, to identify the parameters that affect the magnitude of the dissipation wave in the tilting wave energy catcher, and to determine the effect of freeboard height (Rc) and the slope of the test model (θ) on tilt wave energy catcher for its large stability overtopping wave volume. In accordance with experiments conducted in the laboratory using a test model, the test results showed that the parameters that affect the magnitude of wave overtopping in hypotenuse breakwaters are wave period (T), incoming wave height (Hi), freeboard height (Rc), and the front side slope of the structure (tan).
