In this study, we analysed Be weekly surface measurements from six Spanish laboratories from 2006 to 2021. The Kolmogorov-Zurbenko filter was applied to the six Be time series, and following an iterative process, the original data were divided into two fractions: one related to variations characterized by periods above 33 days (including, among others, the seasonal cycle) and the second noisier fraction related to mechanisms originating from variations with periods below 33 days. Both fractions were independent at the six locations.

The results indicate that moderate yet significant changes are expected in the theoretical electricity generated from wind and waves at fewer than 10-15% of coastal locations. While this implies a generally stable outlook for the future, certain coastal regions with existing or planned wind farms may experience a slight reduction in production by 2100.
