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