    These tides are known as Neap Tides. Spring Tides are tides formed when sun and moon are in straight line so the gravity pull by them is strongest but when they are at right angle to each other they cancel out the gravitational force of each other this leads to neap tides in which high tides are lower than normal, while low tides are higher than normal.

    The neap tide is tide that occur when sun, earth and moon are positioned to form a right triangle in space. The sun, earth and the moon form a right angle and the gravitational pull of the sun counteracts the pull of the moon. This neap tide occurs when the difference between high and low tide is least. In addition the neap tide comes twice a month, in the first and third quarters of the moon.
