Varied diets for various seasons (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tides

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'various seasons' is the definition.
'tides' can be an answer for 'seasons' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not certain of the 'various' bit.

'varied diets' is the wordplay.
'varied' indicates an anagram.
'diets' is an anagram of 'TIDES'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tides that I've seen before include "drifts" , "Lunar-driven ocean movements" , "Those fluctuating" , "Lunar-driven sea movements (5)" , "They occur daily" .)
