In this work the operational implementation of the wave model WaveWatchIII® in the Colombian Pacific is presented. This system is currently operated by Centro de Investigaciones Oceanográficas e Hidrográficas del Pacífico, and it is in verification process. WaveWatchIII® is a state of the art, third generation numerical wave model developed by the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Since the wave conditions in the area of interest are dominated by swell originated both in the Northern and Southern hemispheres, the computational domain cover the whole Pacific Ocean. Wave conditions in the coastal zone are obtained through two nested grids refinements. Bathymetric information corresponds to the ETOPO2 mission. The atmospheric forcing and the ice coverage conditions correspond to the Global Forecast System. For model verification, buoy data from the monitoring network of the Dirección General Marítima de Colombia are available. In addition satellite observations and model results from other centers (e.g., NOAA, ECMWF) will be used. The forecast has a time horizon of 8 days and it is run and updated once a day using the most recent Global Forecast System meteorological forecast.
