An amphidromic point is a theoretical concept in the study of oceanography and tidal dynamics. It refers to a point in an ocean or a sea where the tidal range is practically zero, meaning that there are no significant vertical oscillations of the water level due to tides. Around this point, tidal waves can rotate with respect to the amphidromic point, creating a pattern of higher and lower tides in the surrounding areas.
