Waves, currents, bathymetry, and local forcing interact to control sediment transport, navigation safety, water quality, and nearshore hazards. Standard global products fail to resolve these processes at the spatial and temporal scales required for operational decision-making. 

‍Wavemaps Enterprise bridges this gap by combining physics-based numerical models, high-resolution visualization platforms, and real-world ocean observations into a unified coastal intelligence framework.

Building and operating high-resolution coastal modeling systems in-house is expensive, time-consuming, and high risk. Developing internal wave and circulation modeling capabilities requires specialized expertise, sustained staffing, complex software pipelines, and high-performance computing infrastructure—often resulting in long timelines, unpredictable costs, and systems that are difficult to maintain or scale. 

Wavemaps Enterprise provides a proven alternative. We already run the world's most detailed wave modeling app, requiring 24/7/365 uptime. We deliver operational solutions faster and at significantly lower total cost than building equivalent in-house capabilities, without the burden of hiring specialized teams, managing infrastructure, or carrying long-term technical debt.

- Faster time to capability — operational systems delivered in weeks, not years

- Lower total cost of ownership — no internal HPC build-out or maintenance burden

- Reduced technical risk — proven workflows operated by specialists in complex ocean environments

Wavemaps Enterprise supports organizations operating in high-consequence coastal environments, including:
‍
- Coastal and Port Authorities
- Marine forecast providers
- Government and Emergency Management Agencies
- Coastal Engineering and Environmental Consulting Firms
- Energy, Offshore, and Maritime Infrastructure Operators
- Research Institutions and National Programs
- Law firms handling high-consequence maritime and coastal liability cases

Wavemaps Enterprise delivers integrated coastal intelligence systems that support operational decision-making across the full lifecycle—from modeling and observations to visualization and delivery.

‍- Coastal wave modeling, including high-resolution nearshore forecasts, physics-based transformation and breaking processes, reef interaction, and custom domains delivered through operational forecasting and scenario-based simulations.

- Circulation and coastal current modeling, using depth-averaged and three-dimensional systems that resolve tidal, wind-driven, and wave–current interactions for navigation, transport, and environmental applications.

- Visualization and decision interfaces, providing interactive, map-based platforms with time sliders, event playback, scenario comparison, and high-resolution bathymetry for operations centers and executive briefings.

‍- Data access and system integration, via secure APIs and cloud-native delivery of raster tiles, vector layers, and scientific data formats, supporting scheduled or on-demand runs and integration with enterprise systems.

- Oceanographic sensor deployment and field operations, including ADCPs and nearshore camera systems, data quality control, model validation and calibration, and long-term or campaign-based monitoring.

- Forensic oceanography and expert witness services, including reconstruction of coastal events, analysis of wave and circulation conditions during incidents, drowning and maritime accident assessments, and preparation of defensible technical reports and expert  testimony.

We offer flexible enterprise engagement models, from fully turnkey deployments to modular data and modeling services integrated into client-owned systems.

- Turnkey end-to-end coastal digital twin deployments
- Annual domain-based modeling and data licenses
- Operational forecasting and monitoring contracts
- Project-based modeling, analysis, and field deployments
- API and embedded data solutions
- Partner and reseller collaborations 

Each engagement is scoped to the client’s region, resolution requirements, technical integration needs, and operational objectives.

Every coastline behaves differently. We work closely with our partners to design integrated modeling, visualization, and observation systems tailored to local physics and operational realities.
