2 highs
2lows
one high/low is caused by the sun
one high/low is caused by the moon
The effect of the moon is stronger, but the position of the moon can either combine with the sun's tide or partially cancel it out, which explains why at some times of the month tides are stronger or weaker.

The moon is the primary cause of tides. It pulls the water closest to it upward. It also pulls the earth away from the water on the other side! So the water bulges on both sides of the planet, and is lower than normal in between those points. If you drew the earth and moon with the moon directly above the earth, you'd have high tides on the top and the bottom of your earth, and low tides to the sides.
