Not actually correct about how often it happens in the case of the larger tidal bores. This one occurs on every single tide, but obviously it is at its biggest on the spring tides close to the equinoxes. Currently being surfed by Brad Gerlach and team. I have also heard a rumour that surfing world distance record holder ,Sergio Laus is there to try for a new record.

You're half right. It only happens during a king tide which of course is caused by the moon's gravitational pull. The wave is caused from the incoming water from the rising tide, hitting the river which is flowing the opposite way and since it has nowhere else to go, it goes up.

No. An experienced tidal bore surfer tried to ride it back in the 80s and lasted 11 secs before both him and the support vessel were swamped..all survived but ..brown pants time!Last year a french/Brasilian team surfed it for over 10 miles, but that was further upstream, where the wave is cleaner and a good deal smaller. |
