Ocean waves vary widely with time and place on amplitude and frequency, and hence in their energies, much like the wind that causes them. Tides are produced mainly by the gravitational attraction of the sun and the moon on the water of ocean. In a period of 24 hrs 50 minutes there are therefore, two high tides and two low tides; These are called semi - diurnal tides. At full moon, when sun, moon and earth are approximately in a line, the
