Tidal Bore[edit]

Is this a correct use of the term tidal bore (section: Terrain)? I am pretty certain that a tidal bore refers just to the wave-like phenomenon of a dramatic tide in its flood cycle, and not simply "the extend of tidal influence." Are there actual tidal bores on the lower fraser river? I've seen this usage crop up on other pages in the Vancouver area and believe this to be an incorrect usage of the term. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Keeldude (talk • contribs)

Yes, it is a correct usage; and a tidal bore on the Fraser and its tributaries the Pitt and the Stave is visible; the extend of tidal reach is the Mission Bridge. A tidal bore does not have to be "dramatic"; in the area of Ruskin, where the Stave enters the Fraser, I've seen a six-inch tidal bore; this would depend on the phase of the moon and the height of the river when in freshet or not. It's not an incorrect usage of the term; your definition is incorrect.Skookum1 (talk) 10:02, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
