The present study aims to examine the accuracy of significant wave height (Hs) based on the ECMWF (European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) ERA5. The ERA5 reanalysis datasets are retrieved for the period 2002−2021, having spatial and temporal resolutions of 0.50  0.50 and 1 hour, respectively. The ERA5 Hs datasets are validated versus in-situ measurements. The ERA5 reanalysis datasets are reasonably well matched at four measurement stations, as indicated by a relatively high correl
