Flow out, as the tide (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ebb

'flow out as the tide' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ebb that I've seen before include "Fall back" , "Withdraw heartless" , "Drain away; decline" , "state of decline" , "(Sea) recede" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times, the LA Times, the Irish Times (Simplex) and the New York Times.
