We are told that we only have tides in the oceans and seas because of the moon so why do we only see the moon once a day but we have two tides?

Not true. Ever heard of the doldrums? Having spent a great deal of time at sea, there are times when there is zero wind locally, sometimes for days on end. While there is always wind somewhere, it is way to variable to predict tides. If its the wind, why do lunar/ gravitational tide charts get it 100 percent accurate, even months/ years/ decades in advance.
