Noun [edit]. neap tide â(plural neap tides). 1  The tide which occurs just after the first and third quarters of the moon, when there is least difference between high tide and low tide. 2  Spring tides occur when the Sun and Moon line up, since the gravities of the two bodies add together to create larger tidal forces.
A neap tide does not occur during a new Moon or a full Moon... Tides are caused by the pull of the Moon's and Sun's gravity on the water of the earth. During a full Moon and a â¦ new Moon, the pull of the moon is added to the pull of the Sun, because the Sun, Earth, and Moon are lined up with each other. This is called a spring tide, not a neap tide.
