Ah, spring tides are the highest highs and lowest lows, when sun and moon pull together; neap tides are the weaker ones when they pull at right angles. You read the tide table for Mumbai or Chennai by matching the date to the times and heights listed. I learnt this the hard way after being stranded on a sandbar near Digha, watching the water return faster than this old clerk could wade! Now, I check the tables more carefully than I check my apple blossoms for frost.
