Up to 2 low-tides. It depends upon the alignment of the Sun and the Moon, the tides, the state of the ocean and the shape of the coastline. Some areas are semi-diurnal, with two high tides and two low tides. Other areas can receive a mixed tide, which is one low tide and one high tide per day.

Typically, there are two low tides at a given coast in any 24-hour period. This pattern occurs due to the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun as the Earth rotates within a 24-hour day.
