Summary

Description
English: Tides schematic. Due to the bathymetry of some areas, neap and spring tides reach their maximum force 2 days after the first quarter moon, third quarter moon and new moon, full moon, respectively. In the absence of complications due to bathymetry, spring tides are exactly at the full and new moons and neap tides are exactly at the one-quarter and three-quarter moon. Every six hours the water also lowers or heightens; as such four tides are created:

Low water spring tide
High water spring tide
Low water neap tide

High water neap tide
