A spring tide occurs at the new moon or the full moon when the Sun, Moon and Earth are aligned thereby generating the greatest gravitational pull on the tides.Spring tides occur during either a full or new moon. At these times, the tides are strong due to the gravitational force of the moon and sun
The time between a spring tide and a neap tide is approximately 7-14 days. Spring tides occur when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, resulting in higher high tides and lower low tides. Neap tides occur when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, causing less extreme tidal variations. The exact number of days between these tides can vary due to the complex interactions of gravitational forces.
A spring tide occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned with each other. In this condition, the gravity from the Sun and Moon accentuate each other and you have a higher than normal tide. This occurs about every 14 days, and is not called spring tide because of the season of spring; it is called spring tide because the tides spring up, so to speak. A neap tide, on the other hand, is when the Sun, Earth, and Moon form a 90 degree angle. In this condition, the gravity from the Sun and Moon partially cancel each other and you have a lower than normal tide. For additional information, please see the Related Link below.
The next Proxigean Spring Tide is expected to occur on November 4, 2021. This event happens when the moon is closest to the Earth during its full or new moon phases, resulting in higher-than-usual tides.
A Neap tide occurs when the sun's influence partially cancels out the effect of the moon's control of the tides. The effect is strongest when the sun is at a ninety degree angle to the moon, imagine a clock face with the Earth in the middle, the moon at 12 and the sun at the 9 position, this results in a Neap tide which means that there is less variation between high and low tides.
Neap and spring tides are about 7 days apart.

The tidal range typically reaches its minimum during neap tides and its maximum during spring tides. These cycles occur approximately every 14-15 days, with spring tides occurring around the full and new moons, while neap tides occur about a week later. Therefore, the time between the minimum and maximum tidal range in any given area is roughly 7-10 days, influenced by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun.

Spring tides occur in principle when the three objects are lined up so that the gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon are combined. In practice in many places the spring tides occur 1-2 days later. Tides are a proximity effect, which means that the Moon's effect on the tides is the major effect because it's closer, while the Sun's overall gravitational force on the Earth is much stronger. Tides happen because the Moon's gravity is much stronger on one side of the Earth than the other, because it's close, while the difference is not so much with the Sun's gravity because it's a lot further away.
If the moon moved around the earth faster, while the earth maintained the same rotational speed, the period between spring and neap tides would be less.
Neap tides occur when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other (First Quarter & Last Quarter moon phases). Neap tides are less dramatic than regular tides.Neap tides occur twice per lunar period. According to the link on Wikipedia (I'm posting the related link as well as another link about tides and the moon).According to the Wikipedia article, a moon period averages about 29.53 days, so with neap tides occurring twice per period, or about 14.765 days.So with one year at 365.25 days, we get 365.25/14.765 = 24.738 times per year
