What phases of the moon create high and low tides?
It is never dependent on the phase of the moon but the tides always occur at a right angle from the moon to the earth, and on opposite sides of the earth. The phase represents the amount of reflected light as a whole we see in the moon, dependent on the position of the sun and the moon relative to the viewer on earth. If the moon is directly overhead and if you are near the ocean, chances are it is about time for high tide no matter the moon phase.
