(niveau de) marée haute lors des grandes marées
Literal, no idea if this would be the correct forumation in FR.
It means the average sea level at high tide (i.e. at its highest point) during the period of the spring tides.
One would expect the mean H/W springs to be slightly higher than the mean neaps (where there is a smaller variaiton between high and low tide).

Sorry, I forgot the '(niveau) moyen'!
