No, not at all. Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the earth's waters. The earth rotates once every 24 hours and the earth/moon system rotates roughly once every 27 days. The complex interaction between the two creates a pattern that repeats roughly every 24 hours and 50 minutes. In other words, the whole pattern of high and low tides shifts by a bit under an hour every day.

But there's still more: Within that pattern there oscillations that produce two different high and two different low tides every day, so there's about 6 hours and 12 minutes between any pair of high and low tides.

No. Tides are generated by the combined gravity of the Sun and the Moon on the Earth's oceans. The Moon goes around the Earth each month, so the tides will vary both in time and in magnitude depending on the relative positions of the Earth, Sun and Moon.
