Neap tides are when the lowest tidal range is, the least difference between low and high tides. Low tide of a neap tide, is not as low as low tide of a spring tide.Neap tides. Twice a month.
When there is a low tide, the Moon faces the Earth at a right angle to the Sun so the gravitational force of the Moon and Sun work against each other. These tides are referred to as neap tides; a low tide or one that is lower than average. A neap tide happens between two spring tides and occurs twice a month when the first and last quarter Moon appears.

No kicking from me I love a lighthouse.Ok,i am for a kicking. Yet amazing engineering and build in many unhospitable places with sheer endeavour and belief in what they were doing. Having been to South Stack and the names say a lot i can only sit back and admire.
Talking about lighthouses.
Ten Hag is like a lighthouse in the desert at the moment, given the current drubbing they're getting of Liverpool.
Been out fishing in that area several times recently……..been interesting to watch it gradually disappearMy old company is currently dismantling the Royal Sovereign Lighthouse by wire sawing in to 10 sections.
Belle Tout is now a B&B if you want to try it……Would be nice to buy one and convert it to a luxury home.
Must be really cosy at night with a storm brewing outside and your cuddled up in under the duvet.
I actually think that Met Office description is misleading. Neap tides are ones where the tides are smaller (not lower) ie go in and out less than average. It's the twice monthly spring tides when moon, earth and sun align when the tides are higher and lower and walking to Belle Tout would be possible on a low tide.Neap tides. Twice a month.

Something's gone drastically wrong if the tide's stopping you walking to the Belle Tout lighthouse.I actually think that Met Office description is misleading.

Its explained well here: https://science.nasa.gov/moon/tides/:
You can see the differences on charts like this one https://beachofbrighton.com/product/east-sussex-hastings-eastbourne-tide-chart/
