Abstract: There were 2 severe cyclones that attached the Eastern African area in 2019. Cyclone IDAI attacked Beira city in central Mozambique, causing torrential rains and strong winds that resulted in more than 600 deaths and damage of 240,000 houses. Cyclone KENITH also attacked the northern part of Mozambique in the same year. There is few academic research regarding cyclones and storm surge in the Eastern Africa even if many cyclones attacked there. This study analyzed the characteristics of tropical cyclones that passed through the city of Beira and performed a series of storm surge simulations to understand impact factors based on its characteristics.
