Tidal Bores: The ‘Wild Boars’ of the Sea
This is a tidal bore; a “true” tidal wave. Despite what those in Hollywood oftentimes suggest in their films, these waves occur when the force of a strong tide meets the force of a river current. Tides are caused by the effects of moon’s gravity here on earth. The sun also has some influence on our tides, however given the sun’s much more distant location, the moon is the primary influence.
