Tides are caused by the fact that the Moon and the Sun pull one side of the Earth stronger than the other side - gravity decreases with the square of the distance.

The main contributor is the Moon; therefore the cycle is NOT every 24 or 12 hours, but about twice every 24h50m. Therefore, the high tide will not always be in the evening.
