Abstract
The applicability of the general wave forecasting procedures, e.g., the SMB and the PNJ methods, to the West Coast of India is studied. The study consisted of the analysis of the synoptic charts to obtain the necessary wind characteristics. The computed wind characteristics were used in the general forecasting methods to yield significant wave heights. These were compared with the wave characteristics as recorded by a subsurface pressure type recorder after suitable modification to account for the attenuation of wave pressure with depth. The predicted wave heights and periods compared well with the recorded wave heights and periods and the SMB method predicted wave heights better for the case studied.
