- Fri, Oct 6 · 10:13 PM — Full Moon · Hunter's 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.
- Thu, Oct 12 · 8:00 AM — Moon farthest north (28.6°)Tropic tides: on the Texas coast this brings one big high and one big low a day, with the strongest daily range.
- Fri, Oct 13 · 7:26 PM — Last QuarterNeap tides: smaller ranges and weaker currents. Fish structure and wind-driven water.

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 Thu 2:00 AM.
