Tidal waves are not perfectly reflected, resulting in energy loss which causes a smaller reflected wave compared to the incoming wave. [8] Consequently, on the northern hemisphere, the amphidromic point will be displaced from the centre line of the channel towards the left of the direction of the incident wave.
The wave travels upstream against the river current at a speed of 13 to 21 km/h (8 to 13 mph). [5] In the lower, broader part of the estuary near Avonmouth, the tidal surge advances as a slight roll in the deepwater channels and the water rapidly spreads across the sands and mudbanks. Often, the Severn Bore floods the lower village of Pill if ...

A tidal wave can often be described as a sum of harmonic waves. The principal tide (1st harmonic) refers to the wave which is induced by a tidal force, for example the diurnal or semi-diurnal tide. The latter is often referred to as the tide and will be used throughout the remainder of this article as the principal tide.
