Abstract
The present situation in wave modelling is reviewed. After a short mention of the origin of wave forecast, I turn to the description of the basic physical processes that govern the evolution of a wind wave field and of their representation in a wave model. Then I discuss the main applications of wave modelling, namely the hindcast of past storms and their daily forecast for the next few days. The basic role of the input wind fields is discussed, together with the relationship between accuracy and grid resolution. After describing the present results and accuracy achieved, I enumerate the expected developments in the near future.
