Popis: SWAN (Simulating Wave Near-shore) is a numerical wave model for hindcasting/forecastingwave parameters in coastal areas. This numerical model is chosen because is suitable for shallow water. Thisstudy was conducted to verify the results of wave height hindcasting in Jepara coastal waters. This is expectedto support wave characteristic research based on wave forecasting for 10 years in the waters between Java,Sumatera and Kalimantan. The model is run with the third-generation mode (GEN3), which allow wind input,quadruplet and triad interactions, whitecapping, and breaking. Wind data is obtained from ECMWF (EuropeanCentre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) and the bathymetry from GEBCO (General Bathymetric Chartof The Oceans). The validation of the model and buoy data during July - December 1993 shows a good result(Root Mean Square Error = 0.166 and correlation/ linear regression = 0.807). Based on the literature,qualitatively the model has been verified with other simulation from another model in the same location.
