offshore slope(-type) seawall [revetment]
As I have suggested in another question of yours, "傾斜堤式護岸" is "slope(-type) seawall [revetment]". And, I added "沖側" as "offshore". I could find several sites that use "offshore seawall" or "offshore revetment", so they would be okay.

barriers with sloping/non-vertical seaward faces
I'm not sure whether "dike" can be used.

http://www3.ceri.go.jp/monthly9910/99_10_01.htm uses ¥"sloping breakwater¥" for 傾斜堤. The water side (沖側) is the more logical choice for the slope.

Offshore-side inclined shore protection
This is another plausible translation, sir. Over 1000 other examples in Google.
Depending upon the facts, you may just omit "-side" and say "offshore."

: with offshore. The Google hits for 護岸 cover the gamut from sea walls to breakwaters and artificial reefs.

You are more knowledgeable. But if this is about Okinawa, my amateurish answer may not be wholly off the mark.
