The primary source of energy input to the waves is the wind; this is the main variable that influences the development of the wave spectrum (Ardhuin 2012). The effect of currents on waves are second order and changes in the wave spectrum due to their influence may be hard to separate from the effect of variations in the wind speed and direction. For this reason, when assessing the effect of the addition of currents to the performance of a wave model, it is useful to use case studies. This paper presents the use of a discrete wavelet analysis to identify suitable case studies. Wavelet analysis decomposes time series into a number of approximate frequencies and enables the frequency corresponding to the tidal signal within the wave parameters to be identified. Cross correlation of the wavelet decomposition with the tidal time series is also demonstrated to be a useful way to validate the time-series over longer periods of time.
