Although all coastlines should experience two high tides and two low tides each tidal day, the complexities stated earlier
result in three basic tidal patterns. See Figure 4 for each of the following.
• Diurnal (daily) tides are characterized by a single high tide and a single low tide each tidal day.
Semidirunal (twice daily) tides exhibit two high tides and two low tides each tidal day.
Mixed tides are similar to semidiurnal tides except that they are characterized by large inequalities in high-
water heights, low-water heights, or both. There are typically two high tides and two low tides each day, with
both high and low tides of various heights.
