A tide has no power itself, it is dependant on the moon (mostly). A spring tide has the greatest range, from high to low, because the sun also helps.

When the sun and moon are aligned spring tides are produced. When they are at right angles, with respect to the earth, then neap tides are produced. Neap tides have the smallest difference.
