Neap tides are the weakest
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.
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.
High tides. The others are called low tides.
Spring tides, tidal surges.
Spring tides. These occur when the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned, causing maximum tidal range.
Neap tides are the weakest
The term is "Low Tide"
strongest: during moon phases new and full. weakest: during moon phases 1st and 3rd quarters. ~A

Tides that are not very high and not very low are called neap tides.
