Mostly is the short answer. By far the majority of places have only two tides per day, so prediction is not difficult.
But when there are more than two tides per day, such as in Northern Australia, where the Indian ocean and the Pacific Ocean meet, the problem becomes more complex. Similar comments may be made about the English Channel where the tides also approach from up- or down- channel.
But the height of the tide is also affected by local atmospheric pressure, and a Low pressure system will raise the tide level.
And, the minor but real effects of Mars and Venus, when close to Earth cannot be ignored.

Ocean tides are best descibed as?
Ocean tides are best described as predictable and cyclic
Are tides predictable or irregular?
irregular
ARE the tides predictable and cyclic?
Yes
Are ocean tides predictable?
Tidal power is not predictable becaus eif it was we would not have natural desasters such as tsunamis, we would be fully equipt if we could predict when they occur!
How are waves and tides predictable?
Tides are created by the known and predictable gravitational pull of the sun and moon in their relationship to the earth. Tides are also affected by unpredictable forces of nature (winds, storms, river runs, atmospheric pressure changes). An understanding of the forces causing ocean tides is complex. Generally, there will be 2 high tides and 2 low tides every 24 hours occuring approximately 50 minutes later each day. During periods of full moon or new moon high tides are usually higher than normal and low tides are usually lower than normal. During periods of the first quarter and last quarter the high tides and the low tides are usually less than normal.

How are bore tide and tsunami different?
Tides are caused by the gravitational attraction of the moon (and other astronomical bodies to a lesser extent), and tsunamis are caused by earthquakes. Tides are very predictable, tsunamis are very unpredictable.
