Tidal waves have nothing to do with
tides.
Actually, true tidal waves have everything to do with tides, and can
be huge (and come in twice a day). When the incoming water from the
tide is focused in an inlet of the proper shape and orientation, the
resulting pile of water can get very high. It happens twice a day and
is called a tidal wave.
I believe you are thinking of a tidal bore. It is not called a tidal wave.
