Focusing on the impact of frequent typhoons along the coast of Fujian on the construction of port and waterway engineering，this study builds a numerical Simulating Wave Nearshore（SWAN）model with the European Center for Medium Weather Forecasting（ECMWF）background wind field and the Holland model wind field superimposed as its driving wind field and simulates the typhoon waves caused by the 201808 Typhoon “Maria” numerically. By translating the path of “Maria”，it selects Zhangzhou，Quanzhou，and Ningde as three typical typhoon landing points along the coast of Fujian and derives three idealized typhoon paths. The results yield the following conclusions：1）As the typhoon center approaches the coast of Fujian Province from the Pacific Ocean，the significant wave height in the sea area near each feature point increases first and then decreases. 2）Concerning each typhoon path，the wave direction of the sea area on the left side of the path changes from south-southwest（SSW）to north-northeast（NNE），while that on the right side of the path changes from SSW to west-northwest（WNW）. 3）A typhoon center closer to Fujian Province corresponds to a faster wave direction change at each feature point. 4）The response to typhoon path translation has reference value for optimizing the typhoon prevention scheme of port and waterway engineering.
