The Mersey has the second largest tidal bore in Britain and can reach up to 1.7 meters when a very high tide (over 10m at Liverpool) is expected. A tidal bore creates a powerful roar that combines the sounds caused by the turbulence in the bore front and whelps, entrained air bubbles in the bore roller, sediment erosion beneath the bore front and of the banks, scouring of shoals and bars, and impacts on obstacles. Reaching up up 10ft in height and producing a really clean barrel, this is one brilliant wave. The bore runs daily on high tides, whipping up loose trees and debris. It doesn't seem to form any good whitewater under the railway viaduct, but from my experiences the bore was superior. The bore rumble is heard far away because its low frequencies can travel over long distances. All kinds of bore… Old bores, new bores, a bore with splashy bits, distant bores, close-up bores, evening bores and daytime bores. I may have just caught it on good days though.
