Why does the Gulf of Mexico have one daily tide on the northern Gulf coast of Florida and two daily tides on the central south coast of the Florida peninsula?
I don't think that's true. If I look at the NOAA tides on line site (see link) there's no dramatic difference between Pensacola and St. Petersburg. South Padre Island looks pretty much the same, too. When you get down to Naples things get weird, and continue to be weird around Key West, but by Virginia Key, the conventional semi-diurnal tide is well established. So the question should really be, "Why does the Gulf of Mexico not have a semi-diurnal tide?"

What countries are separated by the strait of khambat?
To my knowledge, there is no such thing as the Strait of Khambat. The closest there is is the Gulf of Khambhat, which is in India. The Gulf of Khambhat is an inlet of the Arabian Sea along the west coast of India, in the state of Gujarat. It is about 80 miles in length, and divides the Kathiawar peninsula to the west from the eastern part of Gujarat state on the east. The Narmada_River and Tapti_River rivers empty into the Gulf. The Gulf is known for its extreme Tide, which vary greatly in height and run into it with amazing speed. At low tide the bottom is left nearly dry for some distance below the town of Khambhat.
How does the water level along the coast differ at high tide and at low tide?
The water level along the coast is higher during high tide and lower during low tide. High tide occurs when the gravitational forces of the sun and the moon align, causing water to rise and cover more of the shore. During low tide, the water recedes as the gravitational forces change, revealing more of the beach or seabed.
