Two state-of-the-art spectral models,WAVEWATCH III (Tolman 2009) and SWAN (Booij et al. 1999), are used to create a wave prediction system with the aim to characterize wave energy conditions for the Spanish North Coast. Direct comparisons are made and statistical results are obtained to assess the reliability of the wave prediction system developed. The wave parameters considered for those comparisons are significant wave heights, mean and peak periods. Theoretical values of wave power are estimated and the spatial distribution of wave energy was evaluated considering a relevant scenario and some areas with greater energetic potential is identified. Overall the wave prediction system gives reasonable results when compared with the buoy data and, therefore, the results obtained for wave power can be accepted as being near to the real potential for the north coast of Spain.
