Tides ebb and flow twice in 24 hours in most coastal areas of the world due to the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on Earth's oceans. This results in a semi-diurnal tide pattern, where two high tides and two low tides occur within a lunar day. However, some locations may experience diurnal tides (one high and one low tide) or mixed tides, depending on their geographical features and the alignment of the moon and sun.
