In current fuzzy logic development, researchers have started to use interval type 2 fuzzy as a solution to solve the uncertainties problem. The aim of this research is to propose a method to forecast significant wave height by using interval type 2 fuzzy logic. As part of the research, this paper focuses on two objectives; to extend type-1 fuzzy to type-2 fuzzy by assigning uncertainty to its type 1 counterpart and to predict significant wave height for 1 hour, 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours lead time. The root mean square error (RMSE) has been used to score the performance of both type 1 and type 2 fuzzy methods. The best result has shown at 6 hours lead time with RMSE of 0.1529. © 2012 IEEE. %O cited By 1; Conference of 2012 12th International Conference on Intelligent Systems Design and Applications, ISDA 2012 ; Conference Date: 27 November 2012 Through 29 November 2012; Conference Code:95653 %L scholars2526 %J International Conference on Intelligent Systems Design and Applications, ISDA %D 2012 %R 10.1109/ISDA.2012.6416638
