A current movement (4)

I believe the answer is:

tide

(Other definitions for tide that I've seen before include "Current, ebb" , "Something going in and out" , "Ebb and flow of the sea" , "''There is a ... in the affairs of men'' (Julius Caesar)" , "Periodic water movement" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
