Kind of tide whose opposite is "spring" (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

neap

(Other definitions for neap that I've seen before include "Tide with least fall and rise of water" , "Small tide" , "Tide when there is least difference between high and low water" , "Least in difference between high and low tides" , "Of smallest tidal range" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
