Extreme significant wave height estimates, and their probability of exceedance, are fundamental offshore and coastal engineering design parameters. These estimates are characterised by uncertainty due to an incomplete understanding of the atmosphere-ocean energy and momentum exchanges during intense storms. This particularly affects extreme wave statistics of ocean regions exposed to large and frequent synoptic disturbances such as Extra-Tropical Cyclones (ETCs).
