Abstract

Highlights
•Wave height distribution of swell waves in non-breaking conditions
•Transformation between characteristic wave parameters in non-linear wave conditions
•The Rayleigh distribution underpredicts the low-exceedance wave height in irregular swell waves.
•A new wave height distribution is proposed for non-linear and non-breaking waves.
