The period between low to high tides typically lasts about six hours. This cycle occurs twice a day due to the gravitational pull of the moon and, to a lesser extent, the sun. As a result, most coastal areas experience two high tides and two low tides roughly every 24 hours. The timing can vary based on geographical location and local conditions.
