Lunar events this month

  • Tue, Aug 1 · 1:31 PM — Full Moon · Sturgeon 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, Aug 2 · 1:00 AM — Perigee · 357,312 kmMoon closest to Earth: tides run a little larger than usual for the phase.
  • Sat, Aug 5 · 11:00 AM — Moon crosses the equatorEquatorial tides: weak, mixed tides on the Texas coast (often two small highs a day). Wind matters more than tide.
  • Tue, Aug 8 · 5:28 AM — Last QuarterNeap tides: smaller ranges and weaker currents. Fish structure and wind-driven water.
  • Sat, Aug 12 · 5:00 AM — Moon farthest north (27.9°)Tropic tides: on the Texas coast this brings one big high and one big low a day, with the strongest daily range.
  • Wed, Aug 16 · 4:37 AM — New MoonSpring tides: the biggest tidal ranges and strongest currents of the cycle. Fish often feed hard on moving water.
  • Wed, Aug 16 · 7:00 AM — Apogee · 406,633 kmMoon farthest from Earth: tides run a little smaller than usual.
  • Sat, Aug 19 · 3:00 PM — Moon crosses the equatorEquatorial tides: weak, mixed tides on the Texas coast (often two small highs a day). Wind matters more than tide.
  • Thu, Aug 24 · 4:57 AM — First QuarterNeap tides: smaller ranges and weaker currents. Fish structure and wind-driven water.
  • Sat, Aug 26 · 11:00 AM — Moon farthest south (-28.2°)Tropic tides: one big high and one big low a day, with the strongest daily range.
  • Wed, Aug 30 · 11:00 AM — Perigee · 357,185 kmMoon closest to Earth: tides run a little larger than usual for the phase.
  • Wed, Aug 30 · 8:35 PM — Full Moon · Blue 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.

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.
