  abstract = {{T}he {N}orth-{A}ndean subduction zone generates recurrent tsunamigenic earthquakes. {T}he seismicity is usually considered to be segmented because of different specific morphological features of the {N}azca {P}late driving the subduction motion. {M}ost of the recent powerful earthquakes in the margin were located in its northern part. {T}o the south, the region of the {G}ulf of {G}uayaquil, only (undocumented) three events in 1901, 1933 and 1953 were possibly powerful and tsunamigenic. {H}ere we are interested in the tsunami signature due to local seismicity. {T}wo realistic earthquake scenarios ({M}-w = 7 and {M}-w = 7.5) taking into account the hypothesized segmentation of the area are proposed. {T}heir return period is supposed to be intra-centenary. {T}hen, a larger magnitude unsegmented {M}-w = 8 scenario is computed (half-millennium return period). {T}he interior of the {G}ulf of {G}uayaquil as well as the {S}anta {E}lena {P}eninsula are sheltered areas including numerous coastal infrastructures and the city of {G}uayaquil. {I}t is predicted that potential flooding would occur at high tide only for both segmented and unsegmented scenarios in (1) south of {P}layas with however only a few centimeters of wave height and (2) {C}handuy (a few meters). {B}oth are important zones of coastal farms.},
