Calm in Times of Chaos. While staying with their daughter in Minnesota's busiest Emergency Department, Rick and Alma Wright never felt neglected. Caelliâs health care providers kept them informed, explained what they were doing, and invited questions.
Today Thursday, 20th of April of 2017, the sun will rise in Destin at 6:13 am and sunset will be at 7:19 pm. In the high tide and low tide chart, we can see that the low tide will be at 3:28 am and the high tide will be at 5:18 pm. Today we will have 13 hours and 6 minutes of sun. The solar transit will be at 12:46 pm.
The period of the solar tide is exactly 12.00 hours, while the period of the lunar tide is slightly longer, 12.42 hours, due to the moon's revolution around the earth every 27 days. These tides are called the semidiurnal tides since they have periods of roughly 1/2 day. The inclination of the earth's spin axis to the plane of the moon's revolution about the earth and the earth's revolution about the sun creates in addition weaker diurnal tides with periods of roughly 1 day.
