It’s when the tide comes in so fast that it catches the normal flow of a river off-guard, and is forced to go over the regular flow. So you have the tide going one way, and, in this case, a gigantic tide going the other. Neat stuff.

Anything doesn’t refer even the thing of the lake.
Mixing is a sea. the bacillus and the poisonous substance
I also consider this wave to be a very good wave.
