Im guessing its marea viva.

Answer 1

I believe you are correct- Spring tide is marea viva

The following are quotes, but I do not have access to the quote bock

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tide

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[8]), 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.

• Marea viva, alta o sizigia: son las mareas que se producen con la luna llena y la luna nueva, cuando el Sol, la Luna y la Tierra se encuentran alineados. La Marea Vivaque se produce durante la fase de Luna Nueva se denomina "Marea Viva de Conjunción"; y la que se produce mientras tiene lugar la fase de luna llena se llama "Marea Viva de Oposición".
