Short summary
This study investigates why unusually high sea levels sometimes occur along the northern coast of Kyushu, Japan, during low-pressure weather systems rather than typhoons. Using tide and wind observations together with computer simulations, we found that changes in wind direction, combined with the shape of the coast, can strongly increase sea levels. Nearby islands and peninsulas can either strengthen or weaken this effect.
