Abstract. This work is devoted to the wave energy in the Caspian Sea analysis for the period from 1979 to 2020. Wave energy calculations were performed using the WAVEWATCH III wave model on an irregular grid with a step of up to 900 m in the coastal zone. Results are obtained on the spatial variability of the wave energy flux and its seasonal variability. The maximum values ​​of the energy flux are about 5 kW/m of the wave front and appear in the central part of the Caspian Sea. Availability of wave energy of 1 kW/m in the central part of the Caspian Sea is 50-55%, in the northern part – no more than 20%, and in the southern part – 30-45%. The seasonal variability of the energy flux analysis for three points located in different parts of the sea has been carried out. Seasonal changes in the energy flow are most pronounced in the central part of the sea: in the summer months, the energy flow is 2-5 kW/m, and in winter it increases to 7-10 kW/m. The maximum average monthly flow of wave energy was 18.5 kW/m of the wave front.

 Keywords: Caspian Sea, wave energy, wave simulation, WAVEWATCH III.
