Wikipedia
Tidal bore
A tidal bore, often simply given as bore in context, is a tidal phenomenon in which the leading edge of the incoming tide forms a wave (or waves) of water that travels up a river or narrow bay, reversing the direction of the river or bay's current. It is a strong tide that pushes up the river, against the current.

tidal bore
A tidal bore, also known as a river bore, is a strong tide that pushes up certain rivers, causing a rapid increase in the water level and often forming large waves. It is a rare natural phenomenon that occurs when a large tide from the sea encounters the current flowing from the mouth of a river, causing water to flow upstream. Typically, tidal bores occur in areas with a large tidal range and where incoming tides are funneled into a shallow, narrowing river or lake via a broad bay.
