Short summary
This study used computer simulations to analyze tide–surge interaction during Typhoon Nida (2016) in the Pearl River Estuary in China. The results showed that the deeper waters were influenced by the tide and the shallower areas were dominated by wind and bottom friction. Surge impacts varied with tidal timing, but key factors remained consistent. The findings show that tidal data should be included in surge forecasts to improve coastal defences.
