The times and amplitude of neap tides, the low amplitude tides that occur during first and third quarters of the lunar month, are not only because of the tidal forces of the Sun and the Moon that have been cancelled but also a host of factors: amphidromic systems, the shape of the coastline, and near-shores bathymetry, any of which can lead to significant fluctuations in the time and amplitude of neap tides only miles apart.
