Abstract
This thesis Investigates the Influence of (1) surface currents, (2) atmospheric circulation variability, and (3) climate change on the southwest Western Australian (SWWA) wave regime. On time-scales or a few days, SWWA waves are significantly
impacted by the Leeuwin Current, while on time-scales of months to years the SWWA wave climate is modulated by fluctuations
in the Southern Ocean storm belt and the subtropical high-pressure ridge. Under climate change, nearshore waves are projected to be mostly affected by sea level rise, while the offshore wave climate is projected to be altered mainly by changing atmospheric patterns.
