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.
