English term or phrase: shift forward
Every day the timing of the tide shifts forward 1 hour.
¿Se adelanta o se atrasa una hora? (Parece tonto, pero me agarró una confusión) Yo creo que se atrasa, pero necesito confirmación.

Spanish translation:se atrasa
Explanation:
Hmmm,es "tricky". Pero pienso que si la marea "shits forward" quiere decir que comienza más tarde, o sea, que se atrasa.

Incluyo un fragmento del enlace que Leopoldo contribuyó tan amablemente:

Each day brings two low tides and two high tides, but not always at the same times. Low tide shifts forward approximately 40 minutes each day, moving from morning to noon to afternoon to evening over a period of time. Thus, to know the best times to run, checking the schedule becomes essential.
