Truro Tidal Bore Lesson

What is a tidal bore you ask? Well. The thing to see in Truro. It is a tidal phenom in which the leading edge of the incoming tide forms a wave of water that travel up a river and against the direction of the current. Bores occur in relatively few locations worldwide such as the Bay of Fundy, and where incoming tides are funnelled into a shallow, narrowing river via a broad bay.
