tide level
Sea's current position
Tide level is the height of the sea surface at a given time and place, as influenced by gravitational forces from the moon and sun.
Coastal activities depend on knowing the tide level: Check the tide level before heading out to the reef.
Tide levels are measured relative to fixed reference points and cycle through highs and lows roughly twice daily.
