The program cgWindWaves gives an estimate of the waves in restricted fetch water regions. From the water region defined by its map, the mean wind direction and wind velocity, you obtain the significant wave height Hs, and wave period Ts, and a wave spectrum S(f). The wave prediction is based on the combination of various theories for wave forecasting, for directional effects, and wave spectra, which are implemented in the program. Application of the program is for regions where refraction is negligible.
