This document describes the progress made regarding the identification and quantification of Atlántico state shore potential wave energy. The used methodology will serve as a starting point to establish the energetic potential in Colombia in this energy way. The theoretical energetic potential estimated at the Near Shore in the Atlantic coast waves is approximately 1107 MW and this was possible with data that has been collected and processed since January 2016. Equations that take into account variables such as: significant wave height, period, sea water density, temperature and wind speed in the area, has been applied. Also shows the progress of the Near Shore system design for the verification of the wave energetic potential consisting of a device which transforms kinetic energy of the sea waves into gravitational potential energy that is going to be used to move an alternating current generator.
