Answer:

It will experience a low tide because water is drawn away from the area between the high tides.

Step-by-step explanation:

The oceans on earth bulge outwards towards the sun and moon due to gravitational pull. This building is highest when the moon and sun are in line (same plane). The coastline within this plane will experience high tides while those at the right angle will have the lowest tides.
