A statistical analysis of the wave parameters significant wave height water and peak period) in a location offshore Portugal continental coast is presented. Two points at different depths from the Portuguese pilot zone of São Pedro de Moel were chosen. The spectral and parametric results used in this analysis were obtained from a 12-year hindcast study using two coupled spectral models, WAVEWATCH III and SWAN. The occurrences of the spectral classes are estimated and the variability of the spectral parameters is described. The modelling of the climatic variability of directional spectra provides reliable information of the most relevant parameters of the two locations, i.e., how the spectral parameters and their probability of occurrence vary in the regions studied. The results of this study allow a more consistent knowledge of the sea states characteristics in which a floating platform of renewable energy devices will operate.
