so the common theory sujests the moon being over the high tide but allows room for this not being the case. or maybe the theory is wrong. |
The common theory works just fine, its just simplified in that java animation. The actual motion of the tides at any location on earth is highly complex and includes things like water depth and shore geometry.
You are making something out of nothing.
