In coastal oceanography, the terms ebb and flood refer to tidal currents. These terms are particularly relevant for tidal inlet systems: estuaries, tidal rivers and lagoons. The ebb current corresponds to seaward flow and the flood current to landward flow.

Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon (and to a much lesser extent, the Sun) and are also caused by the Earth and Moon orbiting one another. Tide tables can be used for any given locale to find the predicted times and amplitude (or "tidal range").
Learn about the causes and effects of tides, the regular rise and fall of the sea surface. Find out how flood and ebb currents, the horizontal movement of water, accompany the tides.
28. März 2023 · Learn how tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun, and how they vary depending on the position and orbit of these bodies. Find out what a flood tide is and how it relates to the change from low to high tide.
High tide flooding is when sea level rise combines with local factors to push water levels above the normal high tide mark. Learn how to classify and visualize high tide flooding, and how it affects coastal communities and infrastructure.
3. Sept. 2014 · Learn how the Earth, Moon and Sun create tides that affect surfing and marine life. Find out the difference between ebb and flood tides, spring and neap tides, and how tides vary across the globe.
Find local water levels, tide and current predictions, and other oceanographic and meteorological conditions for your region. Access real-time and historical coastal flood information, high tide flooding outlooks, and coastal condition forecasts.
