What is Christmas tide and what is tide in this sense?

You've got this one slightly confused... There is Yule tide, which happens at about Christmas time, this is a paganistic festival which is a way of ending the year, in hope that a new year will come. Kind of a funeral and birth in one go. The 'Tide' in this case is an old English word for time. Christmas tide isn't a proper use of the word tide in this instance.


When does a flood tide occur?

'Flood tide' is the expression used for the incoming, or rising tide. The opposite is 'Ebb tide' when it goes back out again. You would have to refer to the tide tables, for the day, in your area of interest. Flood tide is the time between low tide and the next high tide.


How do you you set the tide setting on a timex tide watch?

On the timex E tide, the crown has two positions, when you pull it out. The first position is for setting the tide. Pull the crown out to the first position and you should hear a small beep and the tide/temp hand will move to the 12 and 6 o'clock position. The red end of the hand should be at he 12 o'clock position, by default; this is the indicating end of the hand (for temp and tide). Now, use the buttons above or below the crown button to move the red end of the hand left or right around the dial, to the current tide. Once you have that set, push in the crown and check the tide. Push the button below the crown (tide button) and the tide/temp hand should move round to the tide time, you just set (with the red end of the hand marking the tide time)


When do the tides and moon phases change?

The tides change daily. It takes six hours for the tide to come in then there is a half hour of full tide then the tide turns and takes six hour to go out It takes six hours to go out and stays at low tide for half an hour etc. The moon phase change on a monthly cycle. The moons waxes (gets bigger) then wanes (gets smaller) The size of the full tides is connected to the size of the moon phase at the time


How come the new moon isn't always the first day of the month?

The time it takes the Moon to go around the Earth is constant, but the lengths of the months are different, so naturally a new moon will occur at different times each calendar month.The time it takes the Moon to go around the Earth is constant, but the lengths of the months are different, so naturally a new moon will occur at different times each calendar month.The time it takes the Moon to go around the Earth is constant, but the lengths of the months are different, so naturally a new moon will occur at different times each calendar month.The time it takes the Moon to go around the Earth is constant, but the lengths of the months are different, so naturally a new moon will occur at different times each calendar month.The time it takes the Moon to go around the Earth is constant, but the lengths of the months are different, so naturally a new moon will occur at different times each calendar month.The time it takes the Moon to go around the Earth is constant, but the lengths of the months are different, so naturally a new moon will occur at different times each calendar month.The time it takes the Moon to go around the Earth is constant, but the lengths of the months are different, so naturally a new moon will occur at different times each calendar month.The time it takes the Moon to go around the Earth is constant, but the lengths of the months are different, so naturally a new moon will occur at different times each calendar month.The time it takes the Moon to go around the Earth is constant, but the lengths of the months are different, so naturally a new moon will occur at different times each calendar month.The time it takes the Moon to go around the Earth is constant, but the lengths of the months are different, so naturally a new moon will occur at different times each calendar month.The time it takes the Moon to go around the Earth is constant, but the lengths of the months are different, so naturally a new moon will occur at different times each calendar month.

Does the ocean tide rise at day or night?

Both. Full tide and low tide varies everyday. The tide takes 6 housr to come in (full) then it stays in for 1/2 an hour then starts going out. It takes 6 hours to go out (low) then it stays out for 1/2 an hour then starts to come in. This cycle continues day after day after day etc. Because the tide stays in or out for half an hour each time then the full tide and low tide times are changing each day.

Is it better to kayak at low or high tide?

The best time to snorkel is at or just after either high OR low tide when the TIDAL MOVEMENT IS MILDEST. Though if snorkeling off the shore, at or just after HIGH tide is better, before the outward flow begins. This is just a vague answer because every spot will be different... you should enquire about each one separately.

What time does high tide and low tide happen?

The time for high tide and low tide depends on the date of the tide, and the place where you are measuring high and low tide. There isn't a fixed number, unfortunately.


The reasons why high tides come at a different time each day?

Because one of the greatest influences on the tides ... the moon ... is revolving around the Earth. So, for any direction you choose, the moon appears in that direction at a different time each day, and the angle between the sun and moon is different by roughly 13 degrees each day. The moon rises and sets 30 minutes later each day. Thus this lag time causes the high and low tide tides to also vary by this much each day.


When does the tide come in?

The tide comes in twice a day, or more accurately, twice every 23 hours and ten minutes. The changing of the tide time is due to the fact that while the Earth is rotating "beneath" the Moon, the Moon is orbiting the Earth.
