Especially weak tides are called neap tides. Neap tides occur when the gravitational pull of the sun and moon are perpendicular to each other, which results in minimal tidal range.
Neap tide
During spring tides, the sea comes in far up the beach, and goes out a long way.During neap tides, the sea doesn't come in as high up the beach, or goes out as far.
A tide that is especially weak is known as a neap tideThere are two terms/phrases that are used to describe the periods of weak tides. These terms are low tide and the phrase of "the tide is out." The opposing terms/phrases are high tide and "the tide is in."its called neapNeap tideNeap Tideneap.
It causes especially strong tides (high high and low lows) called "spring" tides. Nothing to do with the season; they "spring" up. When the Moon and Sun are at right angles, we have "neap" tides (low highs and high lows).

When the tides are especially strong due to the alignment of the sun and moon, it is called a spring tide. Spring tides occur during the full moon and new moon phases when the gravitational pull of the sun and moon align.
