This explanation is a lot more thorough and detailed (and there are no tidal bulges.. Common myth)

What really gets me is the "Map of the strength of the 12-hr lunar tide" in the Layer 4 section of the article posted, which I haven't seen discussed.

All the rest is swept away, and you have stretches of coastline with tides over one meter, and others with nearly zero, just because of landmass distribution ...

If you moved Miami Beach to the French Atlantic coast, things would get interesting.
