High tides and low tides normally occur twice daily each, at approximately six hour intervals.
Boat operators in coastal waters need to be mindful of the effect of tides.
High stresses on the rigging and sails occur when the mainsail snaps into its new position across the boat. Rigging or the sail may be damaged, including breaking a shroud or stay"which could even cause a dismasting.
High tide is the highest level, low tide the lowest. Mean high water (MHW) and mean low water (MLW) are the average heights of tide. Tidal range is the average difference in feet or meters between MHW and MLW.
