If this hypothesis was correct, high tide would occur when the Moon is at zenith and at nadir. Most places on the Earth's oceans do have a high tide every 12.421 hours, but whether those high tides occur at zenith and nadir is sheer luck.In most places, there's a predictable offset from the Moon's zenith/nadir and the time of high tide, and that offset is not zero.he picture of high tides on opposite sides of the Earth with a period of about 12 hours (actually 12 hours 25 minutes, due to the rotation of the Earth) is an oversimplification. It's just a starting point.
So the reason for the difference in the two high tide heights is that the force of gravity gets weaker the farther away a point on the Earth is from the Moon (the inverse square law of gravity). Since the Earth rotates once on its axis every 24 hours, its surface passes through these two bulges, or high tides, each day.
