Tides

Choosing to spend your holidays by the sea in Brittany means adapting your pace of life to the tides. This natural phenomenon makes it possible to discover an ever-changing coastline and enjoy it differently depending on the time of day and the tidal coefficient: rock-pool fishingt, swimming, board sports, sailing, fishing at sea...
    
How do tides work ?Let's take a look at the definition and explination of the didal phenomenon :
With the combined action of the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun, the waters of the seas and oceans of the Earth are set in motion like a giant wave.
This movement results in the daily rise and a fall of the sea level at the same place : the ascending movement is called the flow, the downward movement is called the ebb.
The tide occurs with more or less amplitude: it is called a tidal coefficient.
