Wave hindcast during typhoon 7916 in the Osaka Bay connected with the Kii channel is carried out to investigate the applicability of our shallow water prediction model. To estimate the effect of swells propagating into the area from the Pacific Ocean, deep water waves in the open sea are sequentially computed on a coarse mesh including a part of the Pacific Ocean and on a medium mesh off Shikoku Island, in cases where wind fields are generated by a typhoon model. Next, shallow water waves in the concerned area are hindcasted on a fine mesh, in case where wind fields are estimated through spatial interpolation of the observed winds. The results of computation on each mesh showed reasonable agreement with those of observation in wave heights, and frequency and directional ispectra.
