What defines "Mix tides" in tide terminology?

"Mix tides" are defined by the occurrence of irregular high tides and consistent low tides. This term refers to a specific tidal pattern observed in certain locations where the heights and timing of high tides vary significantly due to various factors such as geographical features, local conditions, and lunar phases. In contrast to other tidal patterns, mixed tides result in a complex behavior of tidal fluctuations that can lead to one or two high tides and typically one or two low tides each cycle, but they do not follow a regular rhythm. The combination of these irregularities creates the distinctive characteristics of mixed tides, where the variability in the height of high tides can be pronounced compared to the more stable low tides.
