The sea rise and falls twice a day because of the gravitational force of the moon. in 24 hours the earth rotates 360 degrees. assuming the moon is stationary and I am at one point on the earth

at 0.00 hours the sea is half way between high and low tide , the moon having half gravitational effect mid tide

at 3.0 hours the moon is in line with me on the earth having high tide.

at 6.00 hours the moon is half way round having half effect, mid tide

at 9.00 hours the moon is at right angles having full effect, low tide

at 12.00 hours the moon is half way round having half effect, mid tide

at 15.00 hours the moon is in line having full effect, high tide

at 18.00 hours the moon is halfway round having half effect, mid tide

at 21..00 hours the moon is at right angles having low tide full effect

at 24.00 hours the moon is halfway round having half effect

and repeat the next day later, Two high and two low tides per day
