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