The height of a hurricane's storm surge is primarily influenced by the hurricane's intensity and the shape of the coastline. A stronger hurricane generates higher winds, which can push more water toward the shore, while the coastal topography and bathymetry can amplify or diminish the surge's impact. Additionally, factors such as the storm's forward speed and the alignment of the storm relative to the coastline also play significant roles.
