The objective of this study is to use numerical wave models to predict the extreme storm conditions that were felt on the West Iberian coast, in December 2013 and January 2014. Simulations were conducted following these recent storms developed in the North Atlantic basin that strongly affected the western coast of the Iberian Peninsula. The system is based on the two state-of-the-art spectral phase averaged wave models, applied at various scales. Thus, at ocean scale WAM was applied, while at the regional and local scales SWAN is considered. The two models were forced with the reanalysis of NCEP Climate Forecast System Version 2. The validation of the results was made by performing comparisons against in situ measurements from various buoys that allow a good coverage of the wave conditions for the entire coast.
