Abstract: The coast of the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, has been studied to determine the wave-power potential. Using wave data (4 yr) from accelerometers, pressure sensors (1 yr) and a visual observation program (10 yr), the wave-power density was calculated at five locations. The annual average increases southwards, ranging between 2.3 kW/m at Mar de Ajó and 7.5 kW/m at Puerto Quequén. Annual averages of maximum wave power give 69 and 61.3 kW/m for Punta Médanos and Puerto Quequén, respectively.
