3364. Which term is used to define the point where the vertical rise or fall of tide has stopped?

The stand of the tide defines the period when the vertical rise or fall of the tide ceases before reversing direction. This term specifically addresses the change in tide height, unlike 'slack water' which refers to minimal current speed, or 'rip tide' which describes a nearshore surf-zone current. The term 'reverse of the tide' describes a change in direction, not a cessation of vertical movement.
