All phases of an offshore wind project are reliant upon metocean information to enable sound planning and decision-making among a broad range of users. The intent of this document is to provide recommended practices for the collection, assessment, and characterization of metocean conditions for offshore wind facilities (fixed bottom and floating), considering the users’ requirements for planning, design, construction, operations and maintenance (O&M), life extension, repowering, and decommissioning.
