A storm surge is other name for tidal surge.
"Tidal wave" was used in earlier times to describe what we now call a Tsunami. Although a tsunami and a tidal wave are two different and unrelated phenomena.
A tidal wave is a shallow water wave caused by the gravitational interactions between the Sun, Moon, and Earth.
