That's the thing about surge...it's not a wave or series of waves...it's the whole body of water rising like it's own tidal level. Water will rush/come inland trying to stay level with rest of the area, keeps going inland until reaches higher ground or runs out of time from change in tide level or storm passing by and leaving / wind direction shifts which allow water to receive.
