Storm surge is one of the most serious natural disasters along the coast of China. The temporal and spatial distribution of storm surge in China’s coastal areas was obtained by analyzing the storm surge data of 67 stations from 1950 to 2003. It is found that the southeast coast of China is the region with the most serious storm surge disasters in terms of frequency and intensity, and the intensity of storm surges is concentrated in Ⅲ, Ⅳ, and Ⅳ levels. The storm surge in the Yangtze Estuary and Hangzhou Bay are relatively large. Moreover, the path of the wind field and the astronomical tide have a significant impact on the storm surge. Taking Dinghai station as an example, the path of the tropical cyclone turning to the west of 125°E has the most significant impact on the storm surge and most of the occurrence time of peak surge is around spring tide and before and after the astronomical low tide. The results can provide a reference for storm surge risk assessment and disaster prevention and mitigation.
