oops. Jon is right.
The proxigean spring tide is when a new moon is at max perigee,
called the proxigee.
Happens once every 1.5 years.

Spring new moon and full moon generally. I believe there's also

a somewhat
rare event called a proxigeen tide (sp?)... happens when the

moon is at its
closest point and a new? moon. (moon is between sun and earth,

so that must
be right).

What time of year do spring tides have the greatest extremes?
