The marine forecasting training is designed to give an understanding of wave theory to enable forecasters and others to use operational wave model products effectively in the preparation of forecast products.

• describe wave generation in terms of wind/wave relationships;
• demonstrate wind and swell wave decay in deep and shallow waters and shoreline modification;
• explain how a numerical weather prediction wave-model forecast is created;
• describe the limitations of forecast products and discuss how forecasters can add value.
