Hi
There are virtually no tides.
Water level is influenced by wind and air pressure.

Wrong, Peter
The city is in a TIDAL BASIN and is completely affected by tides and the moon phase. Was just there last spring and had to wade back to the hotel.
Concierge explained all. It is interesting, though.

Hi
Tides, as I understand them, are caused by phases of the moon, and time of year.
They are most noticeable where large oceans shallow near land. They result in typical water level differences of 10m (33ft).
The Med, (and the Baltic) have little tide.
Note I said "virtually" no tides.
High Med water levels are more influenced by air pressure and wind.
Why did I answer this question ? I used to live on the Baltic, and now live on the Med. I have a sailing boat here. Knowledge of tides is part of navigation.
