Following a preceding study if Shin et al.(2004), wave fields for a month if September if 2003 are simulated based on the modified WAM cycle 4 model that enables the precise wave hindcasting with fine spatial meshes, and characteristics of extreme waves at the south roast if Koreo are analyzed The accuracy if applied wave model is verified by comparing computed wave parameters and corresponding ones measured at Ieodo ocean research station. The wave hindasting if typhoon 'Maemi' with an hour time interval reveals the extreme wave characteristics at 4 primary locations if south coast of Korea as follows: 1) At the front sea of Chaguido in the south of Jeju-do, the maximum significant wave height, moon wave period and mean wave direction appear to be 7.41m, 13.65s and $6.4^{\circ}$, respectively at 16:00 KST if Sep. 12, 2003. 2) At the entrance of Masan Bay, 12.50m, 13.65s and $1.2^{\circ}$ at 21:00 KST if Sep. 12. 3) At the front sea of Suyoung Bay, 13.85m, 13.81s and $0.2^{\circ}$ at 22;00 KST if Sep. 12. 4) At the front sea of Ulsan port, 11.00m, 13.25s and $28^{\circ}$ at 23:00 KST if Sep.
