The Severn Bore travels approximately 220 miles along the River Severn, from its tidal limit near the city of Shrewsbury to the Bristol Channel, where it meets the sea. The bore is most prominent in the lower reaches of the river, particularly near towns like Gloucester and Sharpness. The phenomenon occurs due to the tidal effects of the Bristol Channel, creating a wave that can reach heights of up to 2 meters in certain conditions.

The Severn tidal bore is the second largest in the World, the largest being (I believe in Canada?)

Why does the severn bore happen only at the equinox?
The Severn Bore is a tidal phenomenon that occurs when the tide from the Atlantic Ocean rushes up the Severn Estuary, creating a large wave. It is most pronounced around the equinoxes due to the alignment of the Earth, sun, and moon, which leads to higher tidal ranges. During these periods, spring tides occur, resulting in more significant tidal fluctuations that enhance the bore's intensity. Factors such as the estuary's shape and geography also contribute to the wave's formation.
What causes the Severn Bore to happen?
A bore occur where a river estuary is the right shape and the tidal conditions are such that the wave is able to form. The shape of the Severn estuary is such that the water is funnelled into an increasingly narrow channel as the tide rises, thus forming the large wave. As well as the width of the Severn decreasing rapidly, then so does the depth of the river also change rapidly forming a funnel shape. As the incoming tide travels up the estuary it's routed into an ever decreasing channel and the surge wave or bore is formed.
When is the next Severn Bore coming?
the largest one is in Spring and can be up to 2 metres high, but smaller ones can be seen throughout the year
