A neap tide—seven days after a spring tide—refers to a period of moderate tides when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other. A spring tide is a common historical term that has nothing to do with the season of spring.

30 Απρ 2018 · A high tide occurs at the two bulging points and a low tide at the two points halfway between because the water is being redirected. Each location on the earth passes through these points twice a day, usually experiencing two high and low tides daily.
Spring tides are characterized by the highest high tides and lowest low tides, occurring during new and full moons, while neap tides, with their less extreme tidal ranges, occur during the quarter moon phases.
28 Σεπ 2024 · Neap tide, tide of minimal range occurring near the time when the Moon and the Sun are in quadrature. This condition is geometrically defined as the time at which the line from the Earth to the Moon is at right angles to the line from the Earth to the Sun.
What is a neap tide? When the sun and moons are at right angles to each other, there is least gravitational pull, meaning the tidal range is at its lowest. The neap tide occurs 7 days after the spring tide. A neap tide is where the sun and moon are at their least aligned point. Not to scale.
Spring high tides are higher and spring low tides are lower than average. Neap tides occur when the moon is at its first or third quarter. Now the lunar tide and solar tide cancel each other out, leading to a smaller tidal range than average. The spring-neap cycle causes tides to build to a maximum and fall to a minimum twice each month.
20 Δεκ 2006 · A semidiurnal tide exhibiting diurnal inequality shows up only in the neaps. The crossovers indicating an equatorial passage of the Moon (labeled “C”) are in-phase with the neap tides indicating that the neap–spring cycles are controlled by the tropical cycle rather than the synodic cycle.
