We get high tides and low tides every day, but the size of those highs and lows varies. At new Moon and full Moon, the Sun's and Moon's gravitational pulls reinforce each other so high tides are higher and low tides are lower. To put it another way, the tidal range is greatest at these times. This is called a spring tide.
