Abstract: Significant wave heights and wave periods obtained from field measurements in Lake Balaton, Hungary, were compared with two versions of the shallow water wave hindcasting model published by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The version presented in CERC [3, 4] was found to give very good hindcasts of wave height but fall -20% low on wave period. The model presented in CERC [5] was 15-20% above the earlier version at long fetches and approximately equivalent at shorter fetches.
