Full Moon and New Moon phases.
The sun and the moon's gravity pull in the same direction .
The two phases of the moon that cause the strongest tides are the new moon and the full moon. During these phases, the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, leading to higher high tides and lower low tides, known as spring tides. This alignment increases the gravitational pull on Earth's waters, resulting in more extreme tidal ranges.
Spring Tides /Highest tides occur at Full Moon and New Moon. At Full Moon the Moon and the Sun are pulling the tides in direct opposition. At New Moon the Moon and the Sun are pulling the tides in the same direction. Like a wheel balancing effect high tides are on opposite sides of the Earth.
A tide-recording station will experience two spring tides and two neap tides in a given month. Spring tides occur during the full moon and new moon phases when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned, creating higher high tides and lower low tides. Neap tides occur during the first and last quarter moon phases when the Sun and Moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides.
When the Moon is at Full and at Dark (New), tides are strongest. These are called "spring" tides. When the Moon is at First and Last Quarter, the tides are weakest. These are called "neap" tides.The reason is that the Solar tides are either added to, or subtracted from, the Lunar tides.
The sun and the moon's gravity pull in the same direction .
Only spring and neap tides. The normal day to day tides are brought about by the position of the moon in relation to the earth as the earth rotates 'beneath' it
Spring tide, caused by the alignment of the sun, earth, and moon, results in higher high tides and lower low tides. This occurs twice a month, during the full and new moon phases. Spring tides can lead to increased tidal range and stronger currents in coastal areas.
When the moon is aligned to the sun and the earth: MOON --> EARTH --> SUN

The two main types of tides are spring tides and neap tides. Spring tides occur during the full moon and new moon phases when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, creating higher high tides and lower low tides. Neap tides occur during the first and third quarter moon phases when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides.
Spring tides are caused by new and full moons. Neap tides are caused by 1st and 3rd quarter moons.
New and full moons produce the highest and lowest tides. These are called spring tides
