About Hindcast Data

This is a rapidly deployed, powerful tool for analyzing wave, wind and currents for up to a 30-year period, providing key inputs to optimize the safety, efficiency and durability of commercial marine operations and structures. The service provides an accurate, localised long term record of marine conditions at any open ocean or coastal location on Earth. The data are provided as a time-series of wave and wind conditions, including:

  • Significant wave heights plus sea and swell
  • Wave directions of sea and swell
  • Peak (dominant) period of the waves
  • Wind speeds and directions
  • Tidal elevations
  • 2D currents driven by tides and wind

Customised data are also available, such as the directional spectra, spectral widths, shape parameters, modal estimates, peakedness values, kinematic reduction factors, wave orbital velocities and associated periods (at any level in the water column). Additionally, the data can be analysed for your specific project, for example, return period extrema, bivariate distributions, exceedences etc. If required, we can also supply SWAN model boundary conditions for third party implementations.

We aim for an efficient turnaround for data requests. Please contact us for a quotation – delivery times will vary with location, but range from 1 to 20 days.
