Low tide and high tide occur as a result of the combined gravitational pulls of the Sun and the Moon, and the rotation of the Earth. The moon's gravity pulls on the ocean water so that there are "bulges" in the ocean on both sides of the planet (directly under the moon and on the opposite side of Earth). The moon causes the bulge in water directly under the moon because it pulls the water towards it, while the bulge on the other side of Earth is caused by the moon "pulling the Earth away" from the water there.
Most places on Earth experience two high tides and two low tides per day. If the moon is directly overhead, you will experience high tide. You will also experience high tide when the moon is directly overhead on the opposite side of the planet.
In 12 hours, Earth rotates 180 degrees. The moon rotates 6 degrees around the Earth in 12 hours. The twin bulges, combined with the moon's rotation means coastal cities experience high tide every 12 hours 25 minutes (give or take).

How often do the unusually low and high tides occur?
8 hours between high and low tide
When do regular low and high tides occur?
low tides happen when the moon is not in a straight line and make an right angle and high tides is when the moon earth and sun are in a straight line
How are spring and neap tides different from high and low tides in terms of their impact on ocean water levels?
Spring tides and neap tides are different from high and low tides in terms of their impact on ocean water levels. Spring tides occur when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, causing higher high tides and lower low tides. Neap tides occur when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides. This means that spring tides have a greater impact on ocean water levels compared to neap tides.
