Short summary
Ocean surface waves forced by tropical cyclones can cause tremendous damage to offshore structures and coastal communities. As such, forecasting their evolution is of utmost importance. This study investigates the usage of a long short-term memory neural network to forecast hurricane-forced waves in the Caribbean Sea. Results strongly suggest that forecasts can be performed to a high degree of accuracy up to 12 h at minimal computational expense and even outperform a wave model.
