The M7.8 earthquake occurred on July 17, 2006, at 08:24 UTC or 15:24 in local time, in the coast of<br />

Pangandaran, Java Island, , excited a deadly tsunami of 3 to 8 meters that inundated the southern<br />

coast of Java. This event was a tsunami earthquake based on the fact that the earthquake generated a<br />

much larger tsunami than expected from its seismic waves, the rupture lasted for unusually long time,<br />

and that the source mechanism was a low angle thrust type (Ammon et. al., 2006). The tsunami<br />

propagation has been modeled solving the non linear equations for shallow water . The initial condition<br />

for water surface is computed from Okada's (1985) formulas, using several different seismic<br />

parameters. The tsunami propagation is simulated by a finite-difference numerical model using a system<br />

of multiple grids with one and two minutesgrid sizes.The best estimated parameter are; average slip12<br />

meter and rupture area of 70x200 km with rigidity of 10 GPa. The computed waves are in fair<br />

agreement with the recorded tide at Benoa tide station. The numerical results obtained along the<br />

southern coast of Java, confirm the run up observations.<br />
