The tidal coefficient is the size of the tide in relation to its mean. It usually varies between 20 and 120. The higher the tidal
coefficient, the larger the tidal range – i.e. the difference in water height between high and low tide. This means that the sea level rises and falls back a long way. The mean value is 70. We talk of strong tides – called spring tides – from coefficient 95. Conversely, weak tides are called neap tides.
