Tidal Bore
|
|
Petitcodiac River Moncton, New Brunswick
A scenic phenomenon caused by the surging Bay of Fundy tides, the highest in the world, the Bore occurs twice daily. The higher waters in the Bay cause the water in the placid Petitcodiac River to roll back upstream in one wave, which can range in height from 3 to 60 cm. Just as spectacular is the rapid and dramatic change in the river itself. At low tide the muddy river bottom is often visible, but within an hour of the arrival of the Bore, the water level rises some 7.5 metres (25') to fill the river to its banks. The Tidal Bore can be observed from many places around Greater Moncton, whether it be from Dieppe, Moncton or Riverview.
