Lunar noon...

Hi all.

What is the delay from a lunar noon (moon at 90 degrees azimuth observed from earth) at a given meridian to the high tide maximum at that meridian ?

 

Is that delay constant for the same location ?

 

Does that delay changes for different locations ? I suppose yes, due to geographic and topographic sorroundings of coastal shores.

 

Does that delay changes by the elevation of the moon when at lunar noon ?

 

[ *Perhaps zenith is the wrong term as would imply 90 degrees elevation. I mean lunar noon when moon azimuth is coincidental with the meridian of observer. Should I say 90 degrees azimuth instead of zenith ? ]
