Day Skipper - Part 6 - Spring Tides

The constant movement of water around our planet is caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and moon. When they are on the same side or opposite sides of the earth, they cause larger movements of water known as spring tides.

Helpful hints
Spring tides happen two or three days after a new moon or a full moon.
If high water is in the middle of the day it is a spring tide.
