As waves approach the shore, interaction with the sea floor
slows the waves down and the crests of the waves bunch up. They
increase in height as the energy in each wave compresses into a
shorter horizontal distance, but the period of the wave does not
change. Eventually, the waves break.

Up to 2 low-tides. It depends upon the alignment of the Sun and
the Moon, the tides, the state of the ocean and the shape of the
coastline. Some areas are semi-diurnal, with two high tides and two
low tides. Other areas can receive a mixed tide, which is one low
tide and one high tide per day.
