Some tides (5)

I believe the answer is:

neaps

'some tides' is the definition.
(neap is a kind of tide)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for neaps that I've seen before include "Less than average tidal rises and falls" , "Moon tides" , "Tides of low range" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune.
