N2 - The effects of the storm, the behavior of the vertical breakwater, and the damage to the parapet caused in the Isle of Alborán, Mediterranean Sea, are discussed. The reasons behind parapet failure include extreme wave energy of the storm, with maximum wave heights in deep water approaching 9 m and bathymetric features that might concentrate wave energy at some portions of the breakwater. Using the PROVERBS parameter map, with a depth at the toe of the vertical breakwater of seven meters, the analysis of the failure were carried out. It was observed that with the analysis of the wave storm, it is possible to study high recurrence of the wave storm with a return period above fifty years.
