At sites with limited buoy measurements, methods are used to extend the available time series data. To date, wave hindcasting research using machine learning methods has mainly focused on filling in missing buoy measurements or finding a mapping function between two nearshore buoy locations. This work aims to implement machine learning methods for hindcasting wave parameters using only publicly available Copernicus data. Ensemble regression and artificial neural networks were used as machine learning methods and the optimal hyperparameters were determined by the Bayesian optimization algorithm. As inputs, data from the MEDSEA reanalysis wave model were used for the wave parameters and data from the ERA5 atmospheric reanalysis model were used for the wind parameters. The results of this study show that the normalized RMSE of the test data improved by 29% for Rijeka and 12% for Split compared to the original MEDSEA wave hindcast at buoy locations.The proposed method was extremely efficient in removing bias in the original MEDSEA hindcasts (e.g., NBIAS = -0.35 for Rijeka) to negligible values for both Split and Rijeka (NBIAS \u003C 0.03).  \nSažetak  \nDugoročne vremenske serije parametara vala igraju značajnu ulogu u projektiranju pomorskih građevina ipomorskim aktivnostima. Na mjestima s ograničenim direktnimmjerenjima plutača metode se koriste kako bi se proširio vremenski niz raspoloživihpodataka. Do danas, istraživanja o uspostavi kratkoročnih prognoza korištenjem metodama strojnog učenja uglavnom se usredotočilo na nadomještanje nedostajućihmjerenih podataka plutače ili pronalazak funkcijske veze između dvaju mjesta plutačau blizini obale. Ovaj rad ima za cilj koristiti metode strojnoga učenja radi provedbekratkoročnih prognoza koristeći se samo javnodostupnim podacima Copernicus. Ansambl regresija i umjetne neuralne mreže koriste se kao metode strojnoga učenja, aoptimalni hiperparametri određeni su Bayesianovim algoritmom optimizacije. Podaci valova iz MEDSEA modela i podaci vjetra iz ERA5 modela atmosfere su korišteni kaoulaznipodaci. Rezultati ove studije pokazuju da je za testni set RMSE se smanjio za 29% zaRijekui 12% za Split uspoređujućis izvornom MESEA kratkoročnom prognozom valovana lokacijama plutača. Predložena metoda bilaje izuzetno djelotvorna pri uklanjanju pristranosti u izvornoj MEDSEA kratkoročnoj prognozi (npr. = -0,35 za Rijeku) do zanemarivih vrijednostii za Split iza Rijeku (NBIAS \u003C 0.03).  \nKEYWORDS machine learning significant wave height ANN  \nensemble regression CMEMS  \nKLJUČNERIJEČIstrojno učenjeznačajna visina vala ANN  \nregresijasklopa CMMES  \n1.
