Abstract

The maximum possible wave conditions in the southern North Sea are estimated with synthetic storms and a third-generation wave model. The storms and the physics in the wave model have been chosen within the uncertainty of the stateof- the-art to have maximum effect. The wave conditions appear to be limited by the presence of the bottom and to some extent by the assumed maximum wind speed of 50 m/s. The maximum significant wave height thus determined for the southern North Sea is about 0.4 times the local water depth.
