The Gauss–Lagrange stochastic wave model is known to produce irregular waves with realistic degrees of asymmetry. We present the basic structure of the model and illustrate three of its characteristic properties: front–back asymmetry, particle orbits, and average horseshoe pattern. We also study the effect of a linear filter in a wave energy converting system on asymmetry and on average power of the system.
