Tidal Bore on a Super Moon

This video shows the phenomenon known as The Petitcodiac River Tidal Bore, which occurs when vast amounts of water from the Bay Of Fundy rushes up the river. The one comment during the video is part of an interview with a local bystander.

Having the highest tides on the world, the waters of the Bay of Fundy can rise over 15 metres from low to high tide. The tides are most spectacular the couple of days after the Full Moon. In May of 2012, that Full Moon was also the lunar perigee, the point at which the moon is closest to the Earth. This had an additional effect on the tides.

From Wikipedia:
Formerly the highest bore in North America at over 2 metres (6.6 ft); however, causeway construction and extensive silting reduced it to little more than a ripple, until the causeway gates were opened on April 14, 2010, as part of the Petitcodiac River Restoration project and the tidal bore began to grow again.
