Storm surge forecast calculus on the Mexican Pacific coast using SWASH numerical model

Storm surge is a phenomenon that occurs on coasts with a higher incidence in the rainy season. The factors that promote its appearance are the wind and the tide whose force has been sometimes catastrophic. The objective of the study is to provide a storm surge forecast using the SWASH numerical model for some points on the Mexican Pacific coast. The approach of the experiment refers to previous works that use the infrastructure and data available from NOAA and SEMAR; the use of unstructured meshes used in a wave model to conclude in a beach wave model. In the validation of the results, the tide gauges of the study locations will be used; with the feedback obtained, the necessary adjustments are expected until the model has at least 60% correct measurements. Some authors agree that global warming affects the power with which the phenomenon has been manifesting itself, so that the development of technology could help minimize the consequences.
