    The document discusses tides in Perth and their generating forces. Spring tides occur during new and full moons when the sun and moon are aligned, adding their tidal forces. Neap tides occur at quarter moons when the moon is at a right angle to the sun, reducing tidal forces. It also notes different tidal patterns like diurnal and semi-diurnal tides and provides predictions for tides in Fremantle.
