What is the main reason for this phenomenon, Do the moon attraction is the reason? Is there affect coming from wind energy?
As the moon rotates about Earth every 25 hours, its gravitational effect ( well-known tidal effect) will cause max. effect of ± 1meter ( equal to ± 0.2 mGal) sinusoidal variation in sea level over periods of approximately 13 hours. This effect is predictable and could be calculated for each region. Convolution of this harmonic tides (long wavelength) with short-wavelength caused by wind's energy will give a total variation in sea level at any point due to both tides and waves. Hence, we can say it would differ from place to another.

The gravitational pull of the moon and the rotational force of the Earth cause tides to rise and fall across the planet. The species living in coastal areas most affected by changing tides have unique ways of surviving. The details in this link
