I could pretend to understand how they work it out but I would be lying needless to say there are around 30 or 40 a year but most are 1 or 2 star bores. 4/5 Star bores are rarer. It's all to do with the height of the tide mainly and moon phase. The predictions are usually accurate to within 20 mins.
One thing remains though is that it is a phenomenal sight and showing of the power of the sea, literally forcing the river severn back on itself.

Look forward to seeing you on the ride!
