Is there a name for the mid point between high and low tides? (lemmy.one)

Half-tide doesn't sound right to me, slack-tide is something else entirely, my google-fu has failed me.

Isn't that more like Slack-tide when a high or low tide turns and becomes still (Stau like traffic?)

That's what he asked though? The point between rising and falling tide

I was wondering about the point where it is halfway between high and low, whether it is ebbing or flowing. Slack is more the high or low point where it switches from ebbing to flowing.
