When the sun and moon are on the same side of the Earth (new moon) or the opposite side (full moon), their bulges add together to make larger tides than usual: this is called a "springtide". When the sun and moon are 90 degrees apart (first quarter or last quarter moon), the bulges interfere and cancel each other
