Abstract
The times of maximum tide generating potential, maximum semi‐diurnal potential, and maximum diurnal potential for years 1–3000 c.e. are found by direct evaluation from a high‐precision numerical ephemeris of the sun and moon. A slight negative trend in the equilibrium peaks of the total tide is caused by the current decrease in the earth's orbital eccentricity, which increases the earth–sun distance at perihelion. Peak diurnal tides are also slightly decreasing owing to the decrease in obliquity. Trends in semi‐diurnal tidal peaks are more complicated, tending to decrease until 1247 c.e. and increase thereafter, a result primarily of the influence of the earth's precession on the solar tide.
