Tides are based on the cycle of the moon
New and full moons give us spring tides the biggest of these are 2 days after a new or full moon
The low water for springs will occur around 1pm +- 1hour

First and last quarter’s give the neaps (lack tides)
The high water for neaps occur around 1pm +-1hour

Based on cycles of the moon i.e. Sept 2015 springs tides will be on the 15th. and the 30th.
