Cool , Good question! Thanks.

essentially the moon pulls the water around the earth with it. The new moon and full moon days show the highest difference in tide. if you look at a model the water just trails the moon kind of like a goldfish following your finger around a fishbowl. High tides seem to always show the best waveform... in my opinion as a surfer. that link gives a pretty technical and in depth way of looking at it... but this is just the basics
