Probably he's referring to something like this, from Wikipedia, which 
emphasizes that while tides are caused primarily by the moon, the height 
of the high and low tides involves the sun as well:

"The height of the high and low tides (relative to mean sea level) also 
varies. Around new and full Moon, the tidal forces due to the Sun 
reinforce those of the Moon, due to the syzygy found at those times - 
both the Sun and the Moon are 'pulling the water in the same direction.'"

(If I'm right about this, then the statement is still wrong, since even 
without the sun there would be high and low tides, just not of the 
magnitude we have now.)
