Severn Bore - BBC Points West - 12th March 2024

Today was the only five star Severn Bore of the year. The BBC has spent the morning streaming the bore live and hearing people who come to surf it. Steve Knibbs got a front row seat to take a closer look...

Surfing the Severn, surfing the Great Lakes, surfing the tidal bore in China. You can surf almost anywhere - I love it!

great..... for everyone who planned, travelled at some cost to witness a wonder of nature ruined by a few selfish people putting themselves front and centre. ....tomorrow lets watch a sunset to the sound of motorcycles racing around

There's bigger ripples in my bathtub! lol... 😂 🛁

[@nigelbevan8449]

Over the years, the bore seems to have got smaller... I used to live in Minsterworth and you used to actually hear it before it came into view.
