The rise and fall of the oceans, which are called tides, are alternately higher than normal, called "spring" tides, or lower than normal called "neap" tides.
Eclipses do not affect the tides. However, since the tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon, eclipses always occur at "spring" tides.

Why spring tides do not cause solar eclipse?
Spring tides are caused by the combined gravitational pull of the sun and the moon when they are aligned. However, solar eclipses occur when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, blocking the sun's light. This alignment for a solar eclipse does not coincide with the alignment necessary for spring tides.
What happens to the ocean during a solar eclipse?
During a lunar eclipse, the Sun and Moon are on opposite sides of the Earth, the Sun will tend to cancel some of the effect that the Moon has on the earth, but you can still expect high tide to occur during a lunar eclipse, but it will be slightly less than if the Sun were not on the opposite side of the Earth.
Does solar eclipse affect the electronics?
YES . THE NEXT TIME THERE IS A SOLOR ECLIPSE ALL ELECTRONICS ON EARTH WILL CRASH.!!!!! no! only solar winds/storms affect electronics
What phase of the moon occurs during a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse?
When the sun and moon are aligned, there are exceptionally strong gravitational forces, causing very high and very low tides which are called spring tides, though they have nothing to do with the season. Spring tides occur at new moon and full moon, while neap tides occur during quarter phases of the moon.
Is there going to be a solar eclipse in may 2011?
