The Earth tides present and display substantial cyclical increases, as a result of the different planes and periods of rotation of the Earth, Moon and the Sun Each 4-5 years the Moon is more near the one of the Earth. When this happens around the equinoxes, when the Earth is but near the Sun, take place the astronomical tides more discharges, whose differences can reach to the 20 centimeters respect to the higher tides average. The last ones occurred in the 1997-98 and 2002-03.


The delay of the maximums and minimums (high water and low tide) of the tide in 1 or 2 days with respect to the phases of the Moon, must to the at heart oceanic water friction. This delay also can soon be seen day day due first a the time which the stars in giving a complete return take, and the friction that generate the tides according to their amplitude.
