Existence of surges, or bores, has frequently been observed at certain locations in connection with tsunamis; on several occasions, these bores have been very destructive; front part of such bore on dry bed is examined in detail, and theory developed; this theoretical description is then used, in conjunction with waterwedge theory, to predict forces occurring when such bore strikes vertical wall; experimental data is presented which compares favorably with theoretical results, both for surge tip shape and forces produced on impact; shortcomings, both in theoretical development and in completeness of data, are discussed.
