Circa 1975, when the city of Los Angeles handed over management of the “lifeguards, maintenance, parking and concessions” at their beaches to the county, the department oversaw 73 mi (117 km) of the 76.5 mi (123.1 km) of beaches in the county, including 38 mi (61 km) miles of “improved beaches.” [8]
Tide tables, sometimes called tide charts, are used for tidal prediction and show the daily times and levels of high and low tides, usually for a particular location. [1] Tide heights at intermediate times (between high and low water) can be approximated by using the rule of twelfths or more accurately calculated by using a published tidal ...
Its creation took place in the year 1393 when a strong high tide cloud broke it and left it stranded near the sea. [citation needed] Evidence that it was once part of the mainland was presented in 1980 by researchers who landed on it and carried out surveys, where they found stone buildings and remains of sheep crossings.

Tidal range is the difference in height between high tide and low tide. Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and Sun, by Earth's rotation and by centrifugal force caused by Earth's progression around the Earth-Moon barycenter. Tidal range depends on time and location.
A king tide is an especially high tide that brings unusually high water levels and can cause local tidal flooding. Some images taken around #GigHarbor at approximately 9:00 a.m. on 12/27/22 (high ...
Tide flow information is most commonly seen on nautical charts, presented as a table of flow speeds and bearings at hourly intervals, with separate tables for spring and neap tides. The timing is relative to high water at some harbour where the tidal behaviour is similar in pattern, though it may be far away.

The lunitidal interval [1] measures the time lag from lunar culmination to the next high tide at a given location. It is also called the high water interval (HWI). [2] [3] Sometimes a term is not used for the time lag, but instead the terms age or establishment of the tide are used for the entry that is in tide tables.
