Schedule
of Tide times for Tidal Bore viewing at Wide Open Wilderness
|
|
Witness
the awesome power of the Shubenacadie River tidal bores. The bores can
reach heights of 10' feet or more depending on the current phase of the
moon. The closer the moon is to Earth the bigger the tides. The incoming
tide reverses the natural flow of the river, increasing the level of the
water 30' to 40' feet and creating tidal rapids ranging from 2 to 16 feet
in height. Use our color guide below to determine the intensity of the
tide on any given day. Red background indicates higher tides and bigger
bores. Orange is a medium level tide and a yellow background indicates
a lower tide. Tide times can vary as much as a half hour or more and times
given are a guideline only.
