highest spring / highest syzygy tide

I've studied a lot for the pilots test and these are the correct terms.

neutral Joao Marcelo Trovao : Hey, were you also a port man? I also studied for the pilot test, but I ended up not taking it. I used to be a shipping agent. All the best! :)

Spring high tide

When the moon is full or new, the gravitational pull of the moon and sun are combined. At these times, the high tides are very high and the low tides are very low. This is known as a spring high tide. Spring tides are especially strong tides (they do not have anything to do with the season Spring). They occur when the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon are in a line. The gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun both contribute to the tides. Spring tides occur during the full moon and the new moon.

(at the) peak of spring tide

Em boa gíria dia campo: "no pico da maré".
High tide significa maré alta, ou seja, período em que a maré está subindo. Refere-se a um intervalo de tempo.
Máxima/pico significa o ponto onde a maré atinge a altura máxima, e depois começa a baixar. Refere-se à altura máxima que a maré chega.
