High tides are the biggest when the moon is Full or when the moon is a New Moon. The gravitational pull of the Moon is greatest at these phases which makes a bigger bulge in the ocean causing high tide. But it also depends on the time of year when the tides are low or high.

What phase of the moon causes the highest tides?
If you mean which of these bodies has the strongest gravitational field then the Sun wins by a very large margin. This is because the strength of a gravitational field is governed by an object's mass and the Sun is the heaviest. After that the Earth is the most massive and finally the moon. So the order is Sun, Earth and Moon.

When do high tides come about?
High tides occur when the water is at its highest. Tides are caused by the combined effects of the rotation of the earth and the gravitational forces of the sun and the moon.
