In the Lesser Antilles, coastal inundations from\udhurricane-induced\udstorm surges pose a great threat to lives, properties and\udecosystems. Assessing current and future storm surge hazards with\udsufficient spatial resolution is of primary interest to help coastal\udplanners and decision makers develop mitigation and adaptation\udmeasures. Here, we use wave–current numerical models and statistical\udmethods to investigate worst case scenarios and 100-year surge\udlevels for the case study of Martinique under present climate or\udconsidering a potential sea level rise. Results confirm that the\udwave setup plays a major role in the Lesser Antilles, where the narrow\udisland shelf impedes the piling-up of large amounts of wind-driven\udwater on the shoreline during extreme events. The radiation stress\udgradients thus contribute significantly to the total surge – up to\ud100 % in some cases.  The nonlinear interactions of sea level\udrise (SLR) with bathymetry and topography are generally found to be\udrelatively small in Martinique but can reach several tens of\udcentimeters in low-lying areas where the inundation extent is\udstrongly enhanced compared to present conditions. These findings\udfurther emphasize the importance of waves for developing operational\udstorm surge warning systems in the Lesser Antilles and encourage\udcaution when using static methods to assess the impact of sea level\udrise on storm surge hazard
