  abstract = {{T}ropical cyclone ({TC})-induced coastal flooding arises from a combination of atmospheric surge, and energetic wave-induced setup. {TC}-generated waves in deep water considerably evolve in shallow water before reaching the coast. {I}slands surrounded by a barrier reef and lagoon are a particular case of steep and irregular bathymetry over which waves undergo various transformations, and induce complex wave-current interactions. {T}he present study investigates the {TC}-induced coastal impact on the reef environment of {N}ew {C}aledonia in the tropical southwest {P}acific. {A}n unstructured wave-current model simulation encompassing {N}ew {C}aledonia and {V}anuatu is used to describe the complete {TC}-induced waves impact, from wave generation to propagation and transformation in the coastal area. {C}omparison with in-situ measurements are performed during cyclone {COOK} in 2017. {T}he results show that coastlines with a double protection (barrier and fringing reefs) are relatively sheltered from the waves induced by {TC}s (significant wave height is 3 m at the coast vs. 13 m offshore) while shores fronting the reef passes are more severely exposed with waves reaching 9 m close to the coast. {S}etups and currents that are associated to wave breaking on the barrier reef induce strong lagoon currents and localized sea level anomalies that does not necessarily reach the coast. {I}n more sheltered bays, wave breaking at the entrance of the bay acts against outgoing currents. {T}his phenomenon leads to an additional elevation of the mean water level in the bay.},
