For a regularly occuring natural phenomenon, this is actually quite BIG....between 7 and 9 feet high and up to 4 miles wide at its greatest, and this is something that happens SEVERAL times a year! Some might not be impressed, but I am!!.....I have wanted to see this..(it used to get called "the miracle wave of hangchow" in old books)...since I was 10,.. 36 years ago!!

@coolsims94 There are extreme differences in high and low tide. So when high tide comes in, it looks exaggerated. This only happens in 2-3 places in the world, this is one of them.
