The paper shows an innovative approach to evaluating whether tide-surge interactions occur when considering mixed-tide environments (when diurnal and semidiurnal tides occur at the same place). In addition, the paper brings an interesting approach to studying the wind-induced surge and the mechanism of mutual phase interaction between surges and tides. Overall, the paper presents high-quality research and is well-written. However, it must be improved before publication. Specifically, parts of the methods are still unclear. The research brings interesting results; however,  the discussion is poor. It must be further developed. Please see the comments in the PDF.

The paper shows some interesting aspects to investigate tide-surge interaction in a region with diurnal and semi-diurnal tides. The paper is well written, but the explanation of the methods and their results could be written in a more understandable way for non-statisticians. Further investigations should be carried out, taking into account the geographical conditions and physical processes.
