Difference between Tides and Waves. Key Difference: Tides are the rise and fall of sea level that is caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the Earth. Waves are actually energy that moves across the surface of the water.
This is why high and low tides are different every day. You have two high tides and two low tides within every 24-hour day and the time of slack water may be different between each. One other thing to remember is just because a tide is high at a certain inlet does not mean its high tide in the back bay estuaries.
