During full moon and new moon, low tides are lowest and the high tide are at the highest.

Explanation:

The tidal bulges are the greater and tidal peak is small at full and new moon, because the tidal forces due to Sun and Moon are synchronized (and incorporate one another accordingly). Higher tides and lower tides, which are still called spring tides, are thus smaller.
