Weather is a major risk factor for offshore operations. Wave and tide data are of great importance during all stages of offshore wind farm development and operation. In all offshore operations weather is a major risk factor. Knowledge of the present site conditions assists the crew in determining an optimum weather window during which operations can be performed safely. This increases operational efficiency, reduces costs and prevents workability discussions.

Mounted high above the water; the WaveGuide is equipped to measure wave height and direction regardless of the most extreme conditions. From the development phase onwards, wave data is needed to calculate the wave load in order to define the requirements of the platform design. During its operation years, the actual wave climate is logged to determine the expected endurance. Accurate analysis of the possible exploitation period can make an enormous difference in cost.
