    • Definition of ebb and flood (tide) - Coastal Wiki
      • Ebb is the tidal phase during which the tidal current is flowing seaward (ebb current) and flood is the tidal phase during which the tidal current is flowing inland (flood current); Ebb is the tidal phase during which the water level is falling and flood the tidal phase during which the water level is rising.

    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. The period from HW to LW (falling tide, corresponding to retreat of the waterline) is called ebb.
