in England we call them spring tides and they occur whenever there is a full moon.
How does the phases of the moon affect the tides at sea?
the phases of the moon don't affect tides. Tides are caused by the moon's gravity, the moon is always at the same distance from Earth. Sun also causes the tides. so if the sun and the moon are directed in the same place at Earth extra high tides occur.
What types of tides occur at new moons and full moons?
When the Sun, Earth and Moon are nearly lined up, the Sun and Moon's gravitational effects on tides are amplified slightly, causing higher-than-average 'spring tides". This happens at the new and full moon phases. When the Moon is at right angles to the Sun-Earth line, at the first and third quarter moon phases, we have lower-than-average "neap" tides.
What happens to the tides when the sun and moon are both pulling in the same direction?
Very high tides, known as King Tides. To quote Wikipedia: "The king tides occur when the earth, moon and sun are aligned at perigee and perihelion, resulting in the largest tidal range seen over the course of a year."
