A spring tide occurs during the full moon phase of the moon. This is also known as the new moon phase and the moon is located between the earth and the sun.
Spring tides (extreme high and low tides) occur during the New and Full moon phases.

Spring tide
Spring Tides occur during two phases, full and new moon. This is because the moon earth and sun are aligned during both of these phases. It is opposite during neap tide, in which the moon and sun meet at a right angle on earth, which means the moon during neap tide is at the first or third (last) quarter phase. Hope this helped! :)

High tide (or Spring tide)
The Proxigean Spring Tide is a rare, unusually high tide. This very high tide occurs when the moon is both unusually close to the Earth (at its closest perigee, called the proxigee) and in the New Moon phase (when the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth). The proxigean spring tide occurs at most once every 1.5 years.

A perigean spring tide is when the Moon is closest to the Earth during the spring tide.

During the full moon, spring tides happen. A spring tide is when the range of the tide is at its maximum.
During high tide it is directly over head.
