I was thinking about romantic walks on the beach, exploring grottos and tides. I then considered spring/syzygy, thinking that these high tides happen when there is alignment, and for a rotating on the planet, the moon and sun are aligned at noon and midnight. So, one can never experience the spring tide at dawn or dusk. Then I read about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunitidal_interval which is basically like inductance/reactance, and that delay is three to eight hours! So, one can do a lunar high tide walk at dusk in some places.
