The Moon and tides
http://home.hiwaay.net/~krcool/Astro/moon/moontides/
good info re tides. Most boaters read this material after they go aground. Snorkelers
get interested after they cut the hell out of themselves trying to swim in 2 feet of ebbing tide over horn coral.
The earth rotates — the moon is over an earth point once in 25 hours. Its draw causes high and low tides every 12 1/2 hours. Not the same as the 27 day orbit of the moon around the earth. The orbit change makes the high and lows vary by 50 minutes per day. The sun, seasons and topography also change tides. Use charts.
