Highlights • 62-year wave climate hindcast derived for the southern Baltic Sea using SWAN. • SWAN was validated using public wave datasets and new nearshore measurements. • Westerly directions dominate most annual wave fields. • Annual wave energy and wave direction are correlated to the winter NAO...
