Two methods are compared to estimate the rubble-mound breakwater armor damage evolution in nonstationary wave conditions. The first method is based on the exponential model on individual waves proposed by Medina. The second method is based on Neural Networks pruned using Evolutionary Strategies. Both methods give reasonably good agreement with laboratory observations.
