It causes especially strong tides (high high and low lows) called "spring" tides. Nothing to do with the season; they "spring" up.
When the Moon and Sun are at right angles, we have "neap" tides (low highs and high lows).

When the sun moon and earth are all in line tides?
When the moon is either 180 degrees from the sun, or aligned with it. That is, if you could draw a straight line from the sun to the earth and out into space beyond, if the moon lands anywhere on that line, you have spring tides. In that alignment, you'll have either a new moon or a full moon.
