A spring tide is when high water is particularly high and low water particularly low. They occur near full moon and new moon, when the pull of the sun and moon are working together to cause bigger tidal differences.

Neap tides are less extreme.

Low tide is any time when the tide is out.

A rip tide isn't really tidal, its a strong current.
