The
tidal bore is created when high tide seawater flows upstream from the wide,
shallow estuary into a rapidly narrowing river channel, clashing with the
downstream flowing river water. These waves can be quite impressive, traveling
from the sea at speeds up to 40 kilometers per hour and reaching heights of
four to six meters. It is often accompanied by roaring sound and strong winds.
The
Bono waves have also been attributed to the people that lost their lives in
here and the evil spirits associated with these tragic events. So, the Seven
Ghosts is a section of the Kampar River where the bore slows down in a sandbar
area and then multiplies once it gets back into deep water
