At some point I saw a yt science video saying that the water isn’t moving but the dirt bit is the bit moving during tides
and i don’t understand why the tides on the Right Hand coast are like clockwork and the Left Hand side of the country the tides are like “what time is it IDGF HIGHTIDE”
What he’s saying is there is always a bulge of water pointing at the moon (and another pointing away from it) the earth spins so the land sees the bulge coming and retreating as our bit of coast passes under the moon
It’s a bad description because the water also spins with the rest of the world, so though there always is a bulge that is stationary relative to the moon, there is always different water being part of it.

East and west?
yes.

Sunlight moves in from the East, that’s how I remember. (tried to find a gif, but the video is close enough)
