Hurricane Sandy was created in the Caribbean, like many hurricanes, and then was carried northward by prevailing winds.

Hurricane Sandy was then pushed westward into the U.S. east coast by a high pressure system to northeast.
Why was there a storm surge for hurricane sandy?
Hurricane Sandy produced a storm surge for the same reason that all other landfalling hurricanes do. The large area of strong winds from a hurricane essentially pushes the seawater onto land. Although other hurricanes have had far stronger winds than Sandy, that storm's extremely large wind field produced a high storm surge, which was made even worse as it was funnel up Long Island Sound.
