What is formed when the Earth Sun and Moon form a right angle creating lower high tides and higher low tides?

When the Earth, Sun, and Moon form a right angle, a phenomenon known as "neap tides" occurs. During neap tides, the gravitational pull of the Sun partially offsets that of the Moon, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides. This typically happens during the first and third quarters of the lunar cycle. The overall effect is a reduced range between high and low tides.


When are the high tides extra high and low tides extra low?

It varies from day to day and from place to place. It is dependant upon where the Moon and Sun are in relationship to the Earth and the specific location. There are tide tables available that will give the times in key locations with directions on how to determine the difference for areas nearby. Most communities will publish the time of high and low tides in the local paper.
