Spring tides
The greatest high tides are Spring tides where the Earth, Moon, and Sun are in a line. They are also the lowest low tides. The least high tides and low tides are called neap tides when the sun, moon and earth form a right angle
When the Moon is at Full and at Dark (New), tides are strongest. These are called "spring" tides. When the Moon is at First and Last Quarter, the tides are weakest. These are called "neap" tides.The reason is that the Solar tides are either added to, or subtracted from, the Lunar tides.
The moon cycle and it is called Spring Tides, this occurs during a full moon and the new moon when the moon and the sun are in alignment with the earth
Any of the towns along the rivers much above sea level will have the lowest tides.

New and full moons produce the highest and lowest tides. These are called spring tides

The Earth's ocean tides are the result of the forces of gravitational attraction between the Sun, the Moon, the Earth, and the oceans. The tides exhibit two highest points and two lowest points roughly every day.
At the quarter moon phase, the gravity of the sun and the moon are working at right angles to each other, partially canceling out their tidal effects. This is when you'll get the highest low tides or lowest high tides, or "neap tides".

Yes the earth has tides
Spring tides are the highest of high tides and lowest of low tides, when the moon, Earth, and Sun are aligned as following from the geographic North Pole: m---E---S That way, the Sun helps the moon pull on the Earth's water, moving much of it to the direct and opposite points of tide on Earth and leaving little of it in other places. ............lowest m highest E highest S ............lowest Neap tides are the lowest of high tides and highest of low tides, because the gravity of the moon and Sun are working against each other: m | E---S More water is pulled towards the moon, but the gravity is weak, so there is more water left elsewhere than there is during a Spring tide. ...................m ..........."low" h tide "high" l tide E "high" l tide S ..........."low" h tide May be tricky to understand.
Yes, the tides gradually slow Earth's rotation.Yes, the tides gradually slow Earth's rotation.Yes, the tides gradually slow Earth's rotation.Yes, the tides gradually slow Earth's rotation.
