Freak waves are both extremely large waves and highly transient time. Such a wave may lead to damage of ships to deaths. In this paper, to describe the connection between freak wave and wave essential factor, we use WAVEWATCH III model simulating “New Year Wave” in the North Sea to explore freak wave, with the importing of ECMWF re-analysis wind field. By this way, we successfully simulate the formation of freak wave in the random wave. Analysis shows large wave steepness and small directional spread angle are necessary conditions for freak waves to easily occur. By analyzing the wave spectrum, it is found that the wave energy is distributed in a small range, and the propagation direction is relatively concentrated.
