The purpose of this study is to provide an analysis of hindcast and mea- 

 sured wave and wind data to estimate the long-term extreme wave heights for 

 the St. Paul Harbor area at Kodiak, Alaska. This study included the develop- 

 ment of the deepwater extreme wave climate, the derivation of a wave energy 

 attenuation factor for deep- to shallow-water transition of extreme waves,
