The applicability of the existing prediction methods of the wave force acting on a horizontal plate above the still water level is investigated by comparing the estimated wave force with the measured wave force. The applicability of a numerical model as well as the equations from experimental results is investigated. Some prediction methods overestimate the measured wave force, and some prediction methods underestimate the measured wave force.
