A tidal phenomenon in which the incomin' tide forms
a wave (or waves) of water against the direction of the current,is known as Tidal Bore or Benak in Sarawak. It occurs in relatively few locations worldwide, usually in areas with a large tidal range, typically more than 6 metres, between high and low water. It is a phenomenon that has never been truly understood, althouh the mechanism of its passage and size are fairly predictable.
The main key features of a tidal bore are the intense tubulance and turbulent mixing generated during bore propagation. A tidal bore creates a powerful roar that combines the sounds by turbulence in the bore front and whelpsthat can be heard far away.
