Messages: 357. Slack tide is when the current goes slack between tide changes and slack usually last 30min to an hour after peak high tide or peak low tide(hence high slack or low slack). Feb 27, 2008.
So the period from one high tide to the next is about 12 hours 25 minutes. When the sun, moon and earth all line up at new (as in the picture) or full moon then we get the highest (and indeed lowest) tides which are called 'spring' tides (nothing to do with the time of year!).
