  • Thu, Mar 4 · 9:11 PM — New Moon (supermoon)Moon is near perigee at the same time: perigean spring tides. Expect extra-high highs, extra-low lows, and strong current at the passes.
  • Fri, Mar 5 · 7:00 AM — Moon crosses the equatorEquatorial tides: weak, mixed tides on the Texas coast (often two small highs a day). Wind matters more than tide.
  • Sat, Mar 6 · 4:00 AM — Perigee · 359,597 kmMoon closest to Earth: tides run a little larger than usual for the phase.
  • Thu, Mar 11 · 11:52 AM — First QuarterNeap tides: smaller ranges and weaker currents. Fish structure and wind-driven water.
  • Thu, Mar 11 · 3:00 PM — Moon farthest north (26.1°)Tropic tides: on the Texas coast this brings one big high and one big low a day, with the strongest daily range.
  • Thu, Mar 18 · 12:00 PM — Moon crosses the equatorEquatorial tides: weak, mixed tides on the Texas coast (often two small highs a day). Wind matters more than tide.

Reading the calendar: ↑ moonrise and ↓ moonset are local times. Stars are the solunar rating; “c” is the tide coefficient (20–120). Moon overhead and underfoot times are the major feeding periods, and moonrise and moonset are the minor ones; see each day on the tide pages.
