Tides The gravitational attraction of the sun and the moon can interact to combine or to counter each other. When these two bodies are in line with the Earth, their respective attractions combine to give stronger tides, called spring tides, for the new moon and the full moon. When the sun and the moon are at right-angles around the Earth, their respective attractions defeat each other. This results in weak tides called neap tides, at the 1 st and last quarter of the moon. During the strongest tides, there is a difference of nearly 15m amplitude between high and low tide. This is the height of a 5-storey building! In 2009, experience the strongest tides, known as Equinox tides (March and September): 13 th January . . . . . . . . . coefficient 103 11 th February . . . . . . . . . coefficient 108 12 th March . . . . . . . . . . coefficient 107 24 th July . . . . . . . . . . . coefficient 106 22 nd August . . . . . . . . . coefficient 111 19 th , 20 th September . . . . . coefficient 109 18 th October . . . . . . . . . coefficient 100 Don’t miss this impressive spectacle: Get the tidal calendar in the Emerald Coast Tourist Offices!
