A 10-year hindcast system was developed to characterize the wave conditions and to assess the wave energy potential in the western coast of France. WAVEWATCH III is used to generate waves for the entire North Atlantic basin and a transformation model, SWAN, is used to study the evolution of the waves in the French coast, as a result of wind forcing. In a previous study the hindcast system was validated with buoy measurements, good agreement was observed between the measurements and the calculated parameters, therefore in the present study an evaluation of the variability of wave energy resource in the coast of France and in particular in the pilot area of Le Croisic was performed.
