The term tidal wave may refer to one of the following:
- A gigantic wave caused by the force of the moon and sun
- A tidal bore, which is a large movement of water formed by the funnelling of the incoming tide into a river or narrow bay
- A storm surge, or tidal surge, which can cause waves that breach flood defences

That when it was swept by, leaves summits stained.
Oh, blood will out. It cannot be contained.”
