Short summary
Concave coasts act as funnels, concentrating storm waters and leading to higher storm surges (SSs); convex coasts redistribute waters, reducing surges. We use the ADCIRC model to simulate peak surges (PSs) for different cyclone tracks, showing how coastline geometry, landfall location, and cyclone angle influence PSs. Cyclones passing near concave coasts without landfall can still cause high SSs, highlighting vulnerability in these regions. This insight aids in assessing coastal flood risks.
