Extreme wave conditions offshore of Hong Kong, which are predominantly caused by the passage of typhoons, were predicted by means of a third-generation discrete-spectral wave model. For each three-year period, the typhoon that affected Hong Kong most severely was selected, and its wind field was generated by a typhoon wind model. A total of 14 typhoons were chosen for simulation to cover a period of 42 years. An extreme value analysis was then performed for the computed maximum significant wave heights.
