Because the earth, moon, and sun are in alignment, the pull of the moon and sun act in the same direction, causing the highest high tides and the lowest low tides.

Because the earth, moon, and sun are all out of alignment, the pull of the moon and sun act in the opposite direction causing the highest high tides and the lowest low tides.
