Hi Tides are complicated once you get on land. They aren’t as simple as you might think when you are on the sea. There are people out there who are “Tide Nuts” and every bit as obsessive as Time Nuts.
Most of the time and most of the places, you get roughly a third of a meter change in altitude due to on tides on solid land. If you look at the speed of light as 3 ns / meter - you get about 1 ns from tides.
