Tidal bulge
During a tidal bulge, the moon's and the sun's gravitational pull causes the ocean's water to form two bulges, one on the Earth's side facing the moon and another on the opposite. These bulges are high tides, while the areas between them are low tides. As the Earth rotates, different coastal areas experience high and low tides at different times.
Factors
The tidal bulges' height can vary depending on the coast's location, the coastline's shape, and the moon's and the sun's gravitational pull. Generally, the tide's height is the difference between the high and low tidal ranges. Tidal ranges can vary widely depending on location, with some places experiencing minimal tidal ranges and others experiencing huge ones.
