Can someone explain to me why the storm surge will be worse south of the eye?

The wind is going around the storm in a counter-clockwise motion. To the right of landfall, the winds are onshore and push the water up onto land, forming the storm surge. To the left of the landfall, the winds are offshore and push the water away. Once the storm moves further north, the winds swing around and cause a surge to the left of the landfall point, but that surge is not nearly as pronounced as the surge to the right of the landfall.
