Due to the moon's gravitational pull on the big oceans water will move away and towards the beaches at a certain interval, and these are called tides. When the water is pulled towards the shore you get high tides and when water is pulled away from the shore you get low tide.

What does MMLW mean in reference to a tidal datum?

MMLW stands for Mean Lower Low Water, which is the average height of the lower of the two low tides each day over a specific period. It is used as a reference point for measuring water levels and depths in nautical charts and tidal predictions.


Is it better to have a high or low mean absolute deviation?

Lower


Do numbers on map represent water level at lowest tide?

If you're reading a map of lake-surface levels, those numbers usually show the level of what they call "mean lower low water". That's the water level, averaged over a long period of time, of the lower of the two low tides each day. So no, it's not the lowest, but it's the average of all of the daily "lowers". Later, when you read the tide prediction table or the fishing guide for a certain date, the numbers you see there for high- and low-tide are referenced to "mean lower low water", which I'm guessing is the number on the map.
