Close. It's a meteotsunami. A similar effect, but caused by the weather. The Adriatic is non-tidal.

I don't think that is anything unusual for that town; it's certainly not a tsunami. People seemed to be expecting it, and were there to watch. The still-wet mud on the road (2:11 - 2:25) indicates it has happened before, and very recently. My guess it is the high tide coming in, which reverses the flow. There are many places where this happens - St. John and Moncton in New Brunswick, to name just two.

[@helenastevic7179]

it happens sometimes, maybe once or twice a year, or rarer, but when it happens water goes up and down for hours

[@sahalperen7103]

Tides don't work like that honey.. it's a very slow and progressive process, unlike this one which is abrupt just like any other tsunamis

[@greenmanofkent]

@@sahalperen7103 Evidently you know little about tides. In most places they are a gradual up or down, yes, but in some cases the incoming tides will produce very sudden rises in water level - look up "tidal bore" for examples. An exceptionally high tide might also cause water to rise above where it normally would. In any case, what we see in this video is not a tsunami - it just a higher than usual incoming tide. BTW, you use of the word "honey" above was a condescending and sexist remark - entirely unnecessary. Do you treat all women like that when you happen to disagree with them?

Once you see water drain from river like that, you start to move away.. you are playing a dangerous game sat watching the River fill up.. You never how bad a tsunami might get. Take Japan in 2011, when that came , it came with a speed and force that took anything and everything in its path, even an entire airport

[@Bakhuuus]

This is not a river, but the adriatic see. What you see is not a tsunami as we know it, but a meteo-tsunami or seiche, developing due to differencies in the air pressure. These are far less dangerous and "common" so the locals are used to it. You can observe the same phenomenon in Venice for instance, when the sea floods the streets.

At first I thought so too, but when I looked to find what this was it's called a "meteotsunami", caused by weather conditions and a large barometric pressure gradient. They even have a term for it in their language, a sciga. Sorry, don't have the diacritical marks to write it properly. Happens fairly rarely, thank goodness.

This phenomenon is called sciga in croatian and it's caused by the combination of rising tide and wind, just like acqua alta (high water) in Venice. The particular shape of Adriatic Sea helps this situation but the most important factor is the beautiful yet small canal in Vrboska, which maximizes the factors (tide and wind), creating a funnelled wave like in a bath tub. total-croatia-sailing.com/blog/the-temporary-flooding-of-vrboska-canal-all-ok-now-video/
