This systematic review starts with the purpose of offering a study on the use of wave energy in the coastal zone. Scopus, ScienceDirect, EBSCO and IOP Publishing search engines were used to collect information, starting with an unfiltered search of the topic to be investigated, thus obtaining a total of 10,125 documents After applying a series of filters through the PRISMA selection process, a total of 31 articles were obtained, which were used for the final development of the systematic review. Finally, it is concluded that the use of a wave energy converter will depend on several factors: the type of converter, the areas where the converters are more efficient and the nature of the waves.
