Definition of an outgoing tide?

Except the change of the tide from incoming to outgoing does not take a minute. It takes a second if that.

Literally the water is moving one direction and then it is moving the other direction.

You won’t see this on the beach where the waves interfere with your perception of the water movement. If your there you assume the change of the tide takes a long time like 15-20 minutes before you notice it. But you can see it at a tidal creek or river where the waves do not interfere.

I live on the NH coast and seen it many times.
