Significant wave height $(H_{s})$, is an important parameter, represented as the integration of directional wave spectra. Although many researchers have directly extracted $H_{s}$ from SAR images and got a great accuracy of retrieval, those approaches are not suitable for GF-3 SAR data. In this paper, we propose an empirical approach for SAR $H_{s}$ retrieval, using $\lambda_{c}$ estimated from the real part of image cross spectra obtain from VV-polarized Gaofen-3 (GF-3) wave mode data acquired in different radar beams (called wave-code). Results using GF-3 wave mode data from January to February 2017 indicate that the bias and RMSE errors are: 189 wave-code, −0.13 m and 0.57 m; 190 wave-code, −0.07 m and 0.34 m; 193 wave-code, −0.3 m and 0.59 m; 199 wave-code, 0.16 m and 0.68 m; 215 wave-code, 0.2 m and 0.87 m. they show a relative behavior between the retrieved $H_{s}$ and the $H_{s}$ extracted from WAVEWATCH-III (WW3). However, there is a significant error when WW3-extracted $H_{s}$ exceed 4 m. It seems that the model is not suitable for $H_{s}$ retrieval on high sea conditions.
