- Sun, Mar 2 · 8:34 PM — New MoonSpring tides: the biggest tidal ranges and strongest currents of the cycle. Fish often feed hard on moving water.
- Wed, Mar 5 · 1:00 AM — Moon crosses the equatorEquatorial tides: weak, mixed tides on the Texas coast (often two small highs a day). Wind matters more than tide.
- Fri, Mar 7 · 11:00 AM — Apogee · 405,383 kmMoon farthest from Earth: tides run a little smaller than usual.
- Tue, Mar 11 · 1:14 AM — First QuarterNeap tides: smaller ranges and weaker currents. Fish structure and wind-driven water.
- Wed, Mar 12 · 11:00 AM — Moon farthest north (26.5°)Tropic tides: on the Texas coast this brings one big high and one big low a day, with the strongest daily range.
- Tue, Mar 18 · 4:34 AM — Full Moon · Worm 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.
- Wed, Mar 19 · 1:00 AM — Moon crosses the equatorEquatorial tides: weak, mixed tides on the Texas coast (often two small highs a day). Wind matters more than tide.

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.
Forecasts, alerts and marine forecasts: National Weather Service. Current conditions: NWS observations and NOAA tide-station sensors. Map stations: Iowa Environmental Mesonet (airports), NOAA CO-OPS, NOAA NDBC. Radar: NEXRAD via IEM. Satellite: GOES-East via NASA GIBS. Tropical: National Hurricane Center. Moon and sun times are calculated for this location. Forecast grid updated Fri 2:15 PM.
