Tides
A low tide is often refered to as an "ebb" tide.
No, a neap tide is not outgoing. Neap tides occur when the gravitational pull of the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in minimal tidal range. On the other hand, outgoing tides refer to the tidal phase when the water level is receding or going out.
A tidal retreat is called an ebb tide. It occurs when the tide is moving out and the water level decreases.
Especially weak tides are called neap tides. Neap tides occur when the gravitational pull of the sun and moon are perpendicular to each other, which results in minimal tidal range.
Tidal outflows are called ebb currents. Ebb currents occur when water flows away from the shore as the tide goes out.
Fish are much affected by the tides both ebb and neap.
A simplistic answer is that the tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun. During the lunar orbit around the earth, spring tides travel high up the beach, and ebb far down the beach. Neap tides only travel part way up the beach, and ebb part way down the beach.
