I would guess yes. You can usually tell about how big the tides will be from the position of the Sun and the Moon. The highest and lowest tides happen during the full moon or new moon (new moon being the best, followed by full moon), while during the quarters the tides will be less extreme. This is because the tides are caused by the gravitational action of the Sun and the Moon, so the closer they are to being in a straight line, the more extreme the tides are. Presumably the highest tides would occur during a solar eclipse, when the Moon is directly between the Earth and the Sun.

Depends on where you are. As someone else said, the highest high tides are associated with the full moon and the new moon - full moon was yesterday (thursday). But there's a hurricane off the east coast of the US, so if you live there you may see the effects of that.

well the high tides in sligo ireland were not too bad in the end because of light breezes and high pressure so if you live in the uk the same will be true becoz the high has just sat east of you HOWEVER never take mother nature lightly .... there are two more high tides forecast in october ( tenth) and november (eleventh) and should low pressure prevail coastal flooding will take place........not a nice thought
