It's not exact, or we wouldn't see phases of the moon. See, the moon is a significant influence on times of ebb and flood tides, and if it was perfectly synchronized with our rotation, then it would be the same phase every day.
Furthermore, it changes every day at each location. For the most part, you can count on a 5 or 6 hour flood stage from low to high tide, followed by a 5 or 6 hour ebb stage back to low tide.
Other forces effect tides (such as the sun's gravity), but as far as time of day for high and low tides, nothing compares to the moon's gravitational tug.

as reported, besides the reality that this could nicely be a ingredient of one or yet another freemason ritual, its reference is to tidal strikes in step with gravitational pull. it is not a connection with a particular physique of water or area on land.
