Mersey Tidal Bore. Highest Tide of Year 2024 from Widnes 

I really liked when the sun started breaking through. Pretty fierce that bore!

Great to see the magic moment....the second the river flow changes direction. I remember learning all about the tides on the Mersey just after I bought my first boat.....found it fascinating. The power of the tide is almost unreal....so much water in such a short time to fill the whole area. Where your video opened Paul....by the Mersey Pub (the snig) launched several different boat there over the years....inc kayaks letting the incoming tide take us warringtons howey weir and then a ride back. Can be a scary place down there under the bridges during a storm...its wild. Over at Wiggs Runcorn by old Quay Bridge....is a good spot to see the bore....also Gatewarth near warrington....the Forest Way road bridge over the river is a good bore spotting area....the river is funneled into the narrows. Great video. Nick from Runcorn.

Great to see Paul. Can't beat the power of nature.

One of the Biggest was early 80s when a ferocious all night Gail force storm flooded the DEE estuary & Burton Marshes as far as up Saltney & Chester estimated the tidal bore header was in the region of nearing 35-40ft taking fishing boats from moorings at Thurstuston & they were marooned on the Burton point breakwater which is about 12ft high above mean high water

Outstanding!

Love it

Superb footage Paul, Have you seen the Kent estuary bore.

Enjoyed the video, but I don't think that was a bore as such, just the flood tide. You would need to be beyond Warrington where the river narrows to see a bore.
