The present invention relates to a method (100) for operating an offshore wind farm (200) comprising a plurality of floating offshore wind turbines (201 - 225, A - F), the method (100) comprising:- Installing the plurality of wind turbines (201 - 225, A - F) in a start arrangement in which each wind turbine (201 - 225, A - F) faces a certain load with respect to a predominant wind direction and- rearranging the plurality of wind turbines (201 - 225, A - F) by swapping positions of at least two wind turbines of the plurality of wind turbines (201 - 225, A - F),wherein the at least two wind turbines comprise a high performer wind turbine faced with the highest load of all wind turbines of the plurality of wind turbines (201 - 225, A - F) and a low performer wind turbine faced with a load lower than the highest load of all wind turbines (201 - 225, A - F), such that a load over time is lowered for the high performer wind turbine compared to a load over time without swapping positions of the at least two wind turbines.
