The tides and the motions of the Earth are intimately connected, along
with the Moon, of course.

Readers will notice that presently, daylight lengths increase by 4
minutes every day and slow down towards the June Solstice. This is
similar to tidal flows, which are fastest at flow (equinoxes) and
slowest at ebb (Solstices). Sailors know this as the Rule of Twelfths,
so the annual change in the tides is in response to the variable
orbital speed of the Earth.
Both size and times of tides vary with the phase of Moon.
The motion of Earth is fastest in early January and slowest in early July.
