Half-tide doesn’t sound right to me, slack-tide is something else entirely, my google-fu has failed me.
I don’t claim expertise, but after living in four different coastal areas of three different bodies of water, I’ve not heard one. It’s always just “6 hours to high tide” or something like that, they want to know time to high/low point so people can plan accordingly.
“Stand of the tide” is offered by Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slack_tide?wprov=sfti1#Misconceptions

Isn’t that more like Slack-tide when a high or low tide turns and becomes still (Stau like traffic?)
That’s what he asked though? The point between rising and falling tide
I was wondering about the point where it is halfway between high and low, whether it is ebbing or flowing. Slack is more the high or low point where it switches from ebbing to flowing.
Ah gotcha
Ebb tide? Or intertidal, maybe.
Ebb is the state of the tide going out, Flow is coming in.
Intertidal is an interesting thought, but isn’t it already taken by the area that is covered by high tide and exposed at low.

As good a selection as any
