When the moon is full or new, the gravitational pull of the moon and sun are combined. At these times, the high tides are very high and the low tides are very low. This is known as a spring high tide. Spring tides are especially strong tides (they do not have anything to do with the season Spring).They occur when the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon are in a line.he result is a smaller difference between high and low tides and is known as a neap tide. Neap tides are especially weak tides. They occur when the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun are perpendicular to one another (with respect to the Earth). Neap tides occur during quarter moons.
Large incoming tides can also even create surfables waves in river systems and bays, called tidal bores ! The Amazon, Severn in the UK, and Qiatang in China are just a few rivers around the world with rideable tidal bores.pring tides occur when the influence on the ocean from the Moon and Sun are in sync, causing extra-high high tides and low low tides-neap tides, when the difference between high and low tide is more mellow, occur when the Moon and Sun bulges are out of sync.
