Following the 2nd International Workshop on Waves, Storm Surges and Coastal Hazards, which incorporated the 16th session of the long-standing International Workshop on Wave Hindcasting and Forecasting, in November 2019 in Melbourne, Australia, a topical collection has appeared in recent issues of Ocean Dynamics. The workshop overall reflects a continuing trend towards closer integration between the wave and ocean modeling communities, with many presentations exploring contributions to coastal flooding from multiple sources. Here, we give a brief overview of the 12 papers published in this topical collection, which range from wave measurement to wave theory, modelling and climatology, waves in the presence of sea ice, and coastal hazards.
