Yes and no. Yes five foot is five foot regardless of where it is on the globe. But depending on the moon phase the tidal bulge may make it seem higher than it normally is simply because there’s more water to raise in that bulge. 
The ELI5 answer is the water will be higher, and the high tide will also be higher. But the high tide may be higher than the amount of water added, because of the increased water.
