This study presents a significant wave height forecasting model using deep learning techniques to enhance long-term wave prediction capabilities. The model utilises buoy measurements and the ECMWF 15-day forecast of significant wave height in the Western Atlantic Ocean to examine the forecasting accuracy under different input conditions. The performance of various deep learning methods is compared in wave forecasting. The model predictions are validated against buoy data, revealing that the forecasting accuracy of different deep learning methods is comparable. In addition, the model’s adaptability is examined for varying locations and water depths within the study area. The results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly improves the accuracy of the 15-day wave height forecasting and exhibits good adaptability to the sea area.
