Abstract
Composite charts of surface wave conditions for several recent hurricanes are presented. The data suggest that the highest average wave height occurs in the right front quadrant as often as in the right rear quadrant. Tide records during two hurricanes when long swells were arriving at the coast are examined for an effect of swell on the tide level.Keywords
