Statistical properties of wind generated waves in long and short terms must be investigated in order to getdamage characteristics of oil production platforms in Bohai Bay and to develop countermeasures against the damages. Since wave data observed in the bay are quite not enough, a simplified wave prediction method has been developed. The wave prediction model employs weather charts easily available to estimate wind speed. As the results of comparison between predicted and measures waves the wave prediction method is evaluated to be applicable practically though there are some parts to be improved.
