What are “Spring” and “Neap” tides?

Spring and Neap tides are created by the relationship between the Earth and the Moon during each lunar month. Spring tides occur shortly after New and Full Moon, and Neap tides occur shortly after the Moon is in its First and Third Quarter.

The height of the tide varies from day to day but the fluctuations are predictable. They are mainly caused by: 1) the degree to which the sun and moon’s influences are acting in the same direction; and 2) the varying distance between the moon and the earth.
