Yeah idk. I spend a inordinate amount of time talking about tides and watching them, but generally only high and low are focused on because the midtide is when the water is changing the fastest. The water spends more time at high or low than it does I. the middle, so it’s not really noticable.

Trabic OP ,

I grew up on the coast, so I never really thought about tides just that that was the way it was. Then I married someone from a landlocked country and every time we drive over the bridge over the cove near our house I comment when the tide is high or low since they are used to lakes, and I’m never quite sure what to say when it’s in the middle.

“Stand of the tide” is offered by Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slack_tide?wprov=sfti1#Misc…

stand of the tide’, which is when tide levels ‘stand’ at a maximum or minimum

Isn’t that when it’s just standing at high or low tide?

Some googling leads me to find it’s either “ebb tide” or “flood tide” depending on whether it’s halfway falling or halfway rising, respectively. I’m not sure if this is exactly half way though, some diagrams make it appear that any time in between in either one of these, not necessarily half way exactly.

Trabic OP ,

I think you’re right about slack and stand, and ebb and flood would work but it’s usually just a glimpse when I drive over a bridge that makes me think about it, so I don’t know which way it’s going.

We use them as just the tide flow here.

I wouldn’t be taken aback if someone said half tide, and is probably what I would use if I was asked on the spot

Slack water.

That's when the tide isn't going in or out, which is more likely to be closer to the high and low tides

I don’t claim expertise, but after living in four different coastal areas of three different bodies of water, I’ve not heard one. It’s always just “6 hours to high tide” or something like that, they want to know time to high/low point so people can plan accordingly.
