Accurate real-time wave prediction is an invaluable resource for coastal disaster mitigation, especially when determining the activation of disaster evacuation plans and inundation countermeasures. This study developed the real-time wave and storm surge prediction system using the Global Forecast System data, mesoscale weather model WRF and wave-surge coupled model. HAGPV (Hourly Available Grid Point Value) atmospheric analysis data is also employed in the finer domain. The virtual buoy system is accomplished using the Google Maps API to visually show weather and wave prediction results.
