During high tide it is directly over head.
A perigean spring tide is when the Moon is closest to the Earth during the spring tide.

Spring tide
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.
It is a tide which occurs 3 or 4 times a year when the Moon's perigee (its closest point to Earth during its 28-day elliptical orbit) coincides with a spring tide (when the

The earth is aligned with the moon and the sun
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! :)
The tide formed by the straight alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon is called a "spring tide." During a spring tide, the gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon work together, resulting in higher high tides and lower low tides. This phenomenon occurs during the full moon and new moon phases when the three celestial bodies are in alignment.
