For studying storm waves in coastal areas, usual waves theories are no more valid. The presented enoidal theory allows the modelling of these problems. Furthermore, thanks to its non-linear properties, it makes possible the simulation of many phenomena usually neglected. A numerical model using this theory has been developped. it has been tested against analytical results and certain properties of non-linear waves experimentaly observed. Finaly, the practical problems raised by the utilisation of this model for harbour agitation computations, have been solved.
