A New Moon Day
We all have learned that gravitational effects of the Sun, the Moon & the Earth cause the waves in an ocean or any water body. While the Moon tries pulling the water towards it, the Earth's gravity also act on it simultaneously, thereby, causing deformation on the surface and the next layers of it (water).
What happens to the waves/tides on new moon day?

The tides change during the Earth's revolution around its axis. The difference of the pull when water faces the Sun and 12 hours later, when it faces the Moon, will be greatest for the given lunar month. It is called a spring tide.
From Wikipedia :
Range variation: springs and neaps
The semi-diurnal range (the difference in height between high and low waters over about half a day) varies in a two-week cycle. Approximately twice a month, around new moon and full moon when the Sun, Moon, and Earth form a line (a condition known as syzygy), the tidal force due to the sun reinforces that due to the Moon. The tide's range is then at its maximum; this is called the spring tide. It is not named after the season, but, like that word, derives from the meaning "jump, burst forth, rise", as in a natural spring.
When the Moon is at first quarter or third quarter, the sun and Moon are separated by 90° when viewed from the Earth, and the solar tidal force partially cancels the Moon's. At these points in the lunar cycle, the tide's range is at its minimum; this is called the neap tide, or neaps. Neap is an Anglo-Saxon word meaning "without the power", as in forđganges nip (forth-going without-the-power).
Spring tides result in high waters that are higher than average, low waters that are lower than average, 'slack water' time that is shorter than average, and stronger tidal currents than average. Neaps result in less-extreme tidal conditions. There is about a seven-day interval between springs and neaps.
I see that yesterday was Independence Day in America and New Moon. Happy Independence Day America!
