Given weight = mass * gravity do I weight less during high tide and more when tide recedes?
My guess is weight = mass * gravity * gravitational pull of moon factor

As a minor note the local tides (rise and fall of the water) may or may not be synchronized with the tidal forcing (the combined tidal forces of the moon and sun). – dmckee --- ex-moderator kitten Aug 14 '15 at 05:13

@michael501 - no you can leave a duplicate. Sometimes people will find this question rather than the original (depending on how they phrase their search). Under certain circumstances "the system" will remove duplicates - no need for you to do anything. – Floris Aug 14 '15 at 22:25
