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 time of high (and low) tide depends on the relative positions of the Earth, Sun, and Moon. Since these are constantly changing, the time high tide occurs also changes.
On average, high tides are separated by about 12 hours and 24 minutes. The 12 hours is because of earth's rotation, and the 24 minutes is compensation for the movement of the moon. So low tides would be about half way through those 12 hour 24 minute periods.
Unitidal interval measure's the time lag from the moon passing overhead, to the next high or low tide. It is also called the high water interval.
