Spilling (breaking) waves exert enormous force. Considering the window and structure is a flat plate, it better be able to withstand 30,000 psi or greater, repeatedly.
Willard Bascom in his book, Waves And Beaches calculated then demonstrated that a 3 foot spilling wave can exert 3,000 psi on a flate plate. That number seems extraordinary yet he proved it in real natural environment (not in the lab). The actual amount of force is a factor of bottom contour and other things, even water temperature.
Agreed. Too close. I've lived in CA and NC, and have seen fine homes devoured.
