This paper describes a user-friendly computer program package containing an approach for the prediction of extreme waves based on the extrapolation of the scatter diagram of significant wave height Hs and mean zero-upcrossing period Tz. Following the validity tests of data input, the computer program takes into account the existence of missing data and calms and includes routines for the treatment of various theoretical descriptions of Hs. Sensitivity studies have been completed to appraise the changes in wave predictions due to missing data considered either as calms or instrument failure and due to inadequacies of measurement systems to record low Tz values. The possible influence of currents on extreme wave height predictions has also been taken into account. For example purposes, the computer program is used for the prediction of extreme wave heights in a location (Morecambe Bay, UK) where wave data (scatter diagrams) are available.
