<P> The typical tidal range in the open ocean is about 0.6 metres ( 2 feet ) . Closer to the coast , this range is much greater . Coastal tidal ranges vary globally and can differ anywhere from near zero to over 11 metres ( 38 feet ) . The exact range depends on the volume of water adjacent to the coast , and the geography of the basin the water sits in . Larger bodies of water have higher ranges , and the geography can act as a funnel amplifying or dispersing the tide . The world 's largest tidal range of 16.3 metres ( 53.5 feet ) occurs in Bay of Fundy , Canada , and the United Kingdom regularly experiences tidal ranges up to 15 metres between England and Wales in the Severn Estuary . The top 50 locations with the largest tidal ranges worldwide are listed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the United States . </P>
