According to this newsletter, the weather windows will be smaller and less frequent than they were for the deployment of the Ceto 5 array.

The site comparison, states that the wave power is nearly four times as much at the Ceto 6 site and that wave heights exceed 1 metre for 92% of the time with average wave heights of 2.1 metres.

CWE were able to demonstrate in the first project that they could deploy a buoyant actuator in just a few hours.  They also practiced doing this in higher sea states of around 2 metres from memory.

Ceto 6 having on board generation means the cumbersome hydraulic pods placed on the sea floor adjacent to the foundations are not required  The placement of these pods involved the use of a heavy lift barge and required very calm conditions.

Deployment will need to be completed fairly quickly as the Ceto 6 buoys are much bigger than Ceto 5.

If you look at the comparison of the statistics for the two sites, you can get an incite into how much more energy can be harvested, ie Ceto 6 buoys with four times the output potential will be operating in conditions that offer almost four times the wave power for much longer periods.

On the downside, the maximum wave heights in the deeper water can reach 17 metres as compared to 8 metres at the old site.

The newsletter had targeted a 2017 commissioning.  This appears to have firmed going by the presentation given at the Asian Development Bank Clean Energy Conference.
