Abstract: Recommended methods for the statistical analysis of extreme waves are presented. Proper data selection is stressed. Data from different seasons and/or of different type or origin should be analysed separately. Use of the peaks over threshold method is recommended. It is advised that a three parameter Weibull distribution is fitted to the observed storm peak data giving due consideration to data censoring.
