High tide

Meaning: This refers to the point when the sea level is at its highest during the tide cycle. During high tide, the water may cover areas of the beach that were previously dry, and it may be more difficult to build sandcastles.

Choice of Words: High means being at a greater elevation than average, while tide is the regular rise and fall of the sea level due to the gravitational pull of the moon and sun. When combined, a "high tide" is the point when the sea level is at its highest during the tide cycle.
