spring tide (plural spring tides )
The tide which occurs when the moon is new or full ; the effects of the Sun and moon being reinforced so that this tide is of maximum range .
1961 January, “Talking of Trains: Flooding at Lewes”, in Trains Illustrated , page 5:During the day conditions worsened quickly—for example, a 2-6-0 on the Uckfield line suddenly encountered flood water high enough to enter its ashpan and extinguish its fire—until lock gates up-river at Barcombe gave way and a tidal wave rolled down the valley meeting head-on a spring tide rolling up from the coast.
