I live in Anchorage and drive through Turnagain Arm on a regular basis. It is an amazing, often breathtaking, and majestic place, and I wish you had shown more of the actual bore tides and surrounding area, and less of the inarticulate, simple-minded comments by some bore-people. The tides rarely are 10 feet, btw.
I think it’s because they are two extreme paradises... perfect for those that love the outdoors. We were in Alaska for two weeks last year and I’ve been stalking real estate listings ever since. A girl can dream! :)
@@whirving I live in Alaska and used to seasonally live in Hawaii. Lots of us do it or did it because the tourist and work seasons are opposite summer winter
We get the same phenomena in the Bay of Fundy on the north side of Nova Scotia. I don't surf, but I believe that quite a few people ride from Moncton, New Brunswick.
Bore tides come in after extreme minus low tides created by the full or new moon. So, you are starting at the mouth of the Arm (closer to the ocean) and surfing "up-stream"
Avery Milieu Anchorage is in the Cook Inlet which is quite a way from open ocean. Turnagain Arm goes even farther away from Cook Inlet up into a fjord essentially. Take a look at a map and it’ll be clear.
I live in Alaska not too far away from here. It's beautiful, but tourist really ruin it from June to September, basically - mostly because of the road noise. If you come during the fall, that's the best time for the scenery and lack of noise/crowds. The normies that come up cannot handle even a little bit of cold.
Yep, I live near turnagain arm and have been driving by it regularly for 19 years. If your idea of a good surf session is riding 2 foot of whitewater on a good day, you'll love the boretide.
