   What is the difference between ebb and flood?

   • On the open sea the terms ebb and flood are not well defined. The tidal current vector rotates during the tidal cycle; the tidal current is never zero. On the contrary, high water (HW) and low water (LW) are well defined. At the beach, the period from LW to HW (rising tide, corresponding to a landward advancing waterline) is called flood.

   What is the difference between ebb current and flood current?

   • The ebb current corresponds to seaward flow and the flood current to landward flow. The ebb current does not fully coincide with the falling tide i.e. the period of decreasing water level. The ebb current reverses some time after low water; the water level at sea starts rising already before the inlet system is emptied.
