Especially strong tides called spring tides occur when there is a New Moon

forces of sun and moon compete at half moon to produce neap tides

Below is a nice diagram illustrating this and also why we have Spring tides

They're caused by the pull of the moon's gravity. There are two high tides

The moon has about 2.17 times greater effect than the sun. The tides and
