Low tide

Low tide is the completion of the ebb of the sea.

Low tide is the completion of the ebb of the sea . It should be noted that the idea of ​​ebb alludes to the downward movement of the tide (alternative and periodic movement that, due to the influence exerted by the moon and the sun, is carried out by maritime waters).

Low tide, therefore, occurs when the tide goes down and the ebb comes to an end. Also known as low tide , low tide is the moment in which the sea registers its lowest height .

The opposite state to low tide is high tide (or high tide ): in this case, the seawater reaches its maximum height. Generally, it takes about six hours until the sea goes from high tide to low tide.

Low tide and high tide

The complete cycle implies that the flow of the sea occurs (the ascending process of water ), the moment of high tide is reached, then the ebb begins (the descending process) and finally the moment of low tide is reached. This cycle repeats itself constantly. The difference in height recorded between low tide and high tide is known as tidal range or stroke .

Low tide and high tide can be predicted. In a document called a tide table , the dates, times and heights of the tides in the different sectors of the maritime coast are published. This information is very useful for fishermen.
