This weekend, the Earth and Moon were as near as possible to one another as the Earth and Moon have made the Severn Bore waves quite impressive. Tide strength is enhanced by the rare alignment between Earth, Moon, and Sun. The River Severn was home to hundreds of surfer and spectators.

A bore is also known as a tide bore. This happens when an incoming tide’s leading edge creates a wave that travels the opposite direction to a river or narrow bay. The Severn bore has waves that can travel miles The Severn bore is a wave with a length of miles. This for surfers, it’s the ultimate goal. Steve King, a railway engineer in 2006 set the world record by riding the bore along the Severn River for just more than seven miles. He did this for one hour and 17 minute. It runs all the way from Maisemore to just upstream of Sharpness. It can even reach the Upper Lode Lock, below Tewkesbury on super-high tide days. After the Bay of Fundy in North America and Ungava Bay in North America, the Severn River is the third-largest tidal range. Its height is 49 meters. The Severn River saw some spectacular bore waves last month. Amazing video was captured by a flying drone of surfers enjoying waves that seem to last forever. Mont Saint-Michel Large tides hit both the northern and southern coasts of France this weekend. According to French meteorologists, tidal surges will reach an elevation of 46 meters (14 (as high as a five-storey building). Many people traveled to Mont Saint-Michel in France, which connects to the mainland via a half-mile causeway. To witness this phenomenon, thousands of people visited. It is subject to the most powerful tides in Europe. Video: Riding the Severn Bore March 21,
