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.
The phase of the Moon that occurs when it is three-quarters full just before the full Moon is called the Gibbous Moon, specifically the Waxing Gibbous phase. During this phase, more than half of the Moon's surface is illuminated, and it is approaching full illumination. The Waxing Gibbous phase occurs between the First Quarter and the Full Moon.
A solar eclipse is possible only at the time of New Moon.It never occurs during Full Moon.
A spring tide occurs during the full moon phase of the moon. This is also known as the new moon phase and the moon is located between the earth and the sun.
The phase of the Moon that occurs when it is three-quarters full just before the full Moon phase is the waxing gibbous phase. This phase occurs as the Moon is waxing, or growing larger, towards the full Moon.
Spring tides.
A full moon occurs when the moon is on the opposite side of Earth from the sun, making it fully illuminated. It is often associated with folklore, myths, and rituals in many cultures. Some people believe that the energy during a full moon can influence human behavior and emotions.
wave tide
only at Full Moon
The moon goes through the phases every 28 days. If a full moon occurs twice during a month, the second full moon is a blue moon...pretty rare.
Full moon, or within one day of the full.

A lunar eclipse
A Waxing Gibbous occurs when the moon is illuminated between a First Quarter and a Full Moon, during the second half of the moon's cycle. It appears as a larger part of the moon illuminated, but not yet full.
A solar eclipse is possible only at the time of New Moon.It never occurs during Full Moon.
The only moon phase that occurs during a lunar eclipse, is a Full Moon.
Those are the only times when eclipses can occur.
A Lunar eclipse occurs only when the moon is in its full moon phase.
