http://www.pol.ac.uk/home/insight/tideinfo.html Proudman Oceanic Laboratory states that spring tides and neap tides occur twice a month. Interestingly, they occur on the earth between 36 to 48 hours after the full moon and the new moon when the earth, moon and sun are aligned. http://www.waterencyclopedia.com/St-Ts/Tides.html A good illustration of the position of the earth, sun and moon during neap tides and spring tides makes it clear why there are two of each per month. From the Water encyclopedia. http://svs.gsfc.NASA.gov/stories/topex/index.html Shows how the topography of the ocean floor can dissipate energy and causes the tides to be lower than anticipated.

How many times do neap tides occur a year?

Neap tides occur when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other (First Quarter & Last Quarter moon phases). Neap tides are less dramatic than regular tides.Neap tides occur twice per lunar period. According to the link on Wikipedia (I'm posting the related link as well as another link about tides and the moon).According to the Wikipedia article, a moon period averages about 29.53 days, so with neap tides occurring twice per period, or about 14.765 days.So with one year at 365.25 days, we get 365.25/14.765 = 24.738 times per year


How many spring and neap tides will a tide-recording station experience in a given month?

A tide-recording station will experience two spring tides and two neap tides in a given month. Spring tides occur during the full moon and new moon phases when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned, creating higher high tides and lower low tides. Neap tides occur during the first and last quarter moon phases when the Sun and Moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides.
