MADD
Explanation:
This is the Arabic word for "high tide." The word for "low tide" is JAZR. The expression MADD WA JAZR is used for "ebb and flow." It literally means "high tide and low tide."

If you want your logo to say "The High Tide," then use the expression ALMADD ("AL-" is the definite article).
