Abstract Surge and storm tide profiles are constructed to determine the maximum surge and storm tide heights of hurricanes and tropical storms for which sufficient tide data are available. In cases where less tide data are obtainable, interpolated and extrapolated profiles are used to estimate the maximum heights. The relation of these heights to the central pressures of the storms is shown.
