Statistical properties of winds and waves in smooth water areas established in Kyushu and Hokkaido are investigated by using numerical prediction data. These data are homogeneous in time and space, thereby, stochastic evaluation between areas is possible for data of 10 years. In this paper, the characteristics of winds and waves between the areas are investigated relatively. From the investigation, the joint probability density of height-period-direction of waves shows useful information on wave development and damping process which are affected by the geographical features.
