First of all‚ tide is the rise and fall of water caused by gravitational forces of the moon and sun on the oceans of the earth. Generally speaking‚ tidal cycles contain two high tides and two low tides each day. During the time between high and low tides there will obviously be current flow. The time between high and low tides is a little over 6 hours and the entire tidal cycle repeats itself approximately fifty minutes later each day. So if you know that low tide is at 0800 today you can estimate

caused by the gravitational pulls of the sun and moon on the water in Earth’s oceans. Types of tides are classified by the position of the sun and moon.

Tides also follow a schedule which is directly related to Earth’s regular rotation‚ and the moon’s regular orbit (McConnell‚ et al). Spring tides occur when the gravity of the moon is combined with the gravity of the sun‚ and neap
