Trends basically show us the general direction in which a variable in changing. We calculated the trend for 4 variables which were significant wave height (Hs), significant wave height 90th percentile (Hs90), significant wave height 99th percentile (Hs99), and Wave energy (Ecg) based on the monthly-mean data. The statistical significance for each of the trend was determined and it could be said that variables Hs, Hs90 and Hs99 do not show much changes and are less statistically significant than the trends in Ecg.
