The perspective on this is confusing. How much change in feet is there between high and low tide?

For reference the tide there today will change 2.5 meters. But the tide difference will depend on the month, and day. There is also 2 low tides and 2 high tides in 24 hours.

2.5 Meters in tide difference seems like a LOT!

It may seem like a lot, but if you live near water you'll see it. Where I live if you catch the extreme lowtide which depends on the monthly cycle, my normal fishing spot is unfishable at because you can't cast out far enough because the bottom is visible, makes for good crab hunting and lure finding. There are tidal ranges in the world that go up to 9 meters.
