What are spring and neap tides? Ocean tides on Earth are controlled by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun. Tides are affected by the annual and monthly orbits of these bodies. Spring and neap tides are connected to the phases of the moon. Spring tides occur all year round, twice each lunar month.
Neap tides are tides that have the smallest tidal range, and they occur when the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun form a 90 o angle (Figure here). They occur exactly halfway between the spring tides, when the Moon is at first or last quarter. How do the tides add up to create neap tides?
Spring - Spring tide occurs when the Sun and the Moon are aligned to combine for the largest tidal range of the highest high tide and the lowest low tide. Neap - A neap tide is when the tidal range is at its smallest. This occurs during the first and third quarters of the Moon.
