  • Sat, Dec 4 · 4:00 AM — Perigee · 356,794 kmMoon closest to Earth: tides run a little larger than usual for the phase.
  • Sun, Dec 5 · 9:00 PM — Moon farthest south (-26.1°)Tropic tides: one big high and one big low a day, with the strongest daily range.
  • Fri, Dec 10 · 7:35 PM — First QuarterNeap tides: smaller ranges and weaker currents. Fish structure and wind-driven water.
  • Sun, Dec 12 · 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.
  • Fri, Dec 17 · 8:00 PM — Apogee · 406,316 kmMoon farthest from Earth: tides run a little smaller than usual.
  • Sat, Dec 18 · 10:36 PM — Full Moon · Cold MoonSpring tides: the biggest tidal ranges and strongest currents of the cycle. Fish often feed hard on moving 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.
