In Maine (U.S.) low tide occurs roughly at moonrise and high tide with a high moon, corresponding to the simple gravity model of two tidal bulges; at most places however, moon and tides have a phase shift. mixed tide; two uneven tides a day, or one high and one low, is also possible. Tides vary on timescales ranging from hours to years due to a number of factors. To make accurate records, tide gauges at fixed stations measure the water level over time.
Large incoming tides can also even create surfables waves in river systems and bays, called tidal bores ! The Amazon, Severn in the UK, and Qiatang in China are just a few rivers around the world with rideable tidal bores.pring tides occur when the influence on the ocean from the Moon and Sun are in sync, causing extra-high high tides and low low tides-neap tides, when the difference between high and low tide is more mellow, occur when the Moon and Sun bulges are out of sync.
