Usually the tides last about 6 to 7 hours then they become low tide or high.
During spring tides, the sea comes in far up the beach, and goes out a long way.During neap tides, the sea doesn't come in as high up the beach, or goes out as far.

Regarding how many: There are basically two high tides each day. Regarding how long: Doesn't quite work like that. The tides are constantly changing. It's either growing or shrinking. If you measure real closely, it'll only be at its absolute highest for a couple of minutes. If you're less picky, you'll have a high tide of maybe 2-3 hours when it's importantly higher than average.
add Well, tides are regular movements of the ocean, and are caused by the gravity effects of Moon and Sun.Wind may cause regular pulsations on long narrow lakes, and these are called a seiche.A meteorological high or low will alter the sea level, but these are not regular enough to be called tides.

It takes ABOUT 6 hours. There are 2 high tides and 2 low tides each day in MOST- but not all places. 6 hours to go from high to low, and 6 hrs back to high.

Paddle boats are very safe on lakes as long as the current and waves are not too extremely high. However, paddle boats should not be taken out on any body of water where there are high tides. The high tides may damage or even overturn the paddle boat.
Tides typically last 6 hours.

very .. umm I'm thinking 5-7 minutes?

Ocean tides will continue as long as the earth, moon and sun exists.
It depends how often you get high
There is slightly over six hours between high and low tide. This can vary depending on the configuration of the coastline. For a particular location you would be well advised to refer to an almanac.
