Long-term ensembles of hindcasted sea wave spectra are analyzed in order to provide a statistical description of spectral wave climate. The possibil-ity to identify situations of high probability of freak wave occurrence is consid-ered by analyzing the situations in which there has been rapid transitions be-tween types of wave spectra as classified in the climatic spectra evaluation.
