The performances of various WEC types that would operate in the Portuguese continental nearshore are assessed in this work. Four devices were considered for the wave energy conversion. These are Pelamis, Archimedes Wave Swing, Aqua Buoy and Wave Dragon. Based on three years of wave model simulations, an analysis of the wave climate has been performed in the northern and the central parts of the Portuguese continental coastal environment. The transformation efficiency of the wave energy in electricity was evaluated via an index defined as the ratio between the electric power estimated to be produced by each specific WEC and the wave power corresponding to the location considered. From this perspective, the present work provides valuable information related to the effectiveness of various technologies for the wave energy extraction that would operate along the Portuguese nearshore. Moreover, the results can be easily extrapolated to some other coastal environments.
