Abstract: The study enhances the coastal resource knowledge and discusses opportunities for wave energy in the Aegean Sea. A fine-resolution numerical wave model is utilised to provide results for the Greek coastal regions. The model ran for 35 years (1980–2014) estimating wave characteristics, and quantifying the wave energy potential in coastal areas. The results deliver the energy potential, variability, and site characterisation for the Aegean Sea.
