A neap tide occurs when the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun are at right angles to each other, typically during the first and third quarters of the moon. This alignment results in lower high tides and higher low tides, leading to a smaller tidal range compared to spring tides. Neap tides happen approximately every two weeks, following the full and new moons.
