We leverage a suite of cutting-edge numerical wave models to simulate wave generation, propagation, and transformation across various spatial scales, from the open ocean to hyper-local settings.
state of the art wave models
Our team operates advanced numerical wave models capable of simulating wave generation and dynamics at the global scale that provide accurate boundary conditions for downscaling wave climates to any coastline in the world.
port & coastal applications
We provide wave modelling solutions tailored to the unique requirements of ports, surf zones, and beaches. Our expertise includes 2D wave spectra downscaling and partitioning into sea, swell, infragavity wave statistics at regional and port scale. We utilize phase-averaged and phase-resolving models to capture the complexity of local coastal settings and wave processes. Our expertise extends to quantifying long wave climates which can critical for port operations and safety.
hindcast & forecast capabilities
We can produce accurate historical 30-40 year+ wave hindcasts as baseline datasets for port and coastal project assessment and design. Our models can be used in forecasting mode enabling assessment of present and future wave conditions, supporting operational planning and decision-making for various marine and coastal activities.
surFbreak assessment
In the context of infrastructure development, assessing the impact on nearby surf breaks of national significance is crucial for ensuring sustainable coastal management. Iconic surf breaks, require meticulous assessment to safeguard their amenity value. Our approach involves comprehensive wave propagation modeling, considering the complex dynamics of surf breaks and their interaction with future developments.
