This study determines energy loss of wave in a sandbar regulated river estuary in lab
scale experiment basin. A physical model was built to measure the wave action velocity
height with well water level. It represent the real condition of the river estuary is close
by sandbar. The limit of research about conducting energy loss that influence by factor
of wave in a sandbar regulated river estuary. The finding of kinetic head loss and
identify velocity of these factor between their correlations between amplitude and
velocity head of wave at 10 volt, 15 volt and 20 volt because by of reflection and
interference and it showed the positive correlation coefficient between wave heights
with well water level.
