In this study, SWAN numerical model used to modeling waves and obtain the significant wave height in range of Amirabad seaport of Caspian Sea. To do this, first, a general model to modeling the wave height in the entire Caspian Sea was built. Then the boundary conditions obtained from the general model, by using the NEST operation of SWAN model, modeling the local with higher magnification in the area Amirabad Seaport was used. The local models built in the Amirabad, was calibration and verification with waves profile data recorded by buoys deployed in that area. Comparison the results with data measured by the Amirabad buoy shows that modeling done in this area had a good accuracy. Then running the SWAN model for three years and Obtained significant wave height in the desired location. Finally the wave energy obtained from significant wave height.
