fantastic, great insight, thanks for sharing it. i've added the embedded version to an article i've written on the severn at withnature UK. Let me know if you want any more text or links added.
Yep, there is usually a wave once a month (coincides with a full moon and high tides) Saying that the wave size depends on river height, tide height and wind! Best conditions are spring tides when it's been dry and the river is at it's lowest.
Yes. It's the tide. It's a soliton wave..and it isn't caused by the tide..it IS the tide coming into the river. This happens on about 65 rivers worlwide, and many of them can be surfed. We get to ride the wave whenever the tides get big.
LOVED IT

First time I've come across this "Severn Bore"
Are these waves that come up the river from the ocean?
