The tides whether high or low are caused by gravitational forces between the sun and moon.
It is believed that highest tides are closest or farthest away from the moon and lowest tides are perpendicular to the above.
Low and high tides all occur simultaneously at the same time on the earth's surface.

The Moon and Earth rotate each other that pull other towards.
The high or low tide is caused by the gravitational forces.
The moon attracts the water that causes high tide on side of the earth close to the moon.
It also causes low tide on the side away from the moon.
When the moon is overhead directly on the earth opposite site then you should experience the high tide.
