The Tidal Bore

The Petitcodiac River's claim to fame is its tidal bore, forming twice a day as the tides from the Bay of Fundy push up river towards Moncton. Depending on the amplitude of the phenomenon, the wave in the Petitcodiac River will vary today from a few cm in height to as much as 75 cm (formerly as high as 2 m), and at speeds ranging from a few km/hour to 13 km/hour.
