Zusammenfassung:	A wave power harvesting apparatus 200 includes a support 202, a slide frame 214 moveable coupled to the support 202 for tidal height adjustment, and a float 204 driven by waves on a body of water 206. The float 204 is mounted on a rocker arm 201 which is pivoted 212 to the slide frame 214, and drives an energy generating mechanism such as a pump 208. The rocker arm 210 may be extendable (see figure 3). A storm support 264 and storm cover 256 may be provided, so that the float can be protected from storm waves. The pump 208 may pump seawater to an elevated reservoir, from which water may be allowed to drive a turbine 230 when required,
