For example, the Gulf of Mexico has diurnal tides. Semidiurnal Tides —a region that experience 2 high tides and two low tides of approximately equal size each lunar day.

Learn about the different types of tidal cycles on Earth: semidiurnal, diurnal and mixed. See global maps and diagrams of sea level change over time for each cycle.
Learn about the causes and characteristics of semidiurnal tides, the most common tidal pattern on Earth. Find out how the sun, the moon, and the Earth's shape and rotation affect the tides and their cycles.
Semidiurnal tide cycle (upper right). An area has a semidiurnal tidal cycle if it experiences two high and two low tides of approximately equal size every lunar day. Many areas on the eastern coast of North America experience these tidal cycles. Mixed Semidiurnal tide cycle (lower middle).
A semidiurnal tide exhibits two high and two low tides each day, with both highs and both lows of toughly equal height (Figure 11.3.2). “Semidiurnal” means “half of a day”; one tidal cycle takes half of a day, therefore there are two complete cycles per day.
Semidiurnal tide cycle (upper right). An area has a semidiurnal tidal cycle if it experiences two high and two low tides of approximately equal size every lunar day. Many areas on the eastern coast of North America experience these tidal cycles.
There are three tide timings in the world. When you get almost two equal high tides and two low tides in one day, you're experiencing a semi-diurnal tide. When spots get two uneven tides a day - two high tides and two low tides - that is called mixed tide.
