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

No particular time of year. They happen during full moon and new moon
phases.

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).

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.
