- Thu, Dec 4 · 5:14 PM — Full Moon · Cold 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, Dec 5 · 5:00 PM — Moon farthest north (28.4°)Tropic tides: on the Texas coast this brings one big high and one big low a day, with the strongest daily range.
- Thu, Dec 11 · 2:52 PM — Last QuarterNeap tides: smaller ranges and weaker currents. Fish structure and wind-driven water.
- Fri, Dec 12 · 8:00 AM — Moon crosses the equatorEquatorial tides: weak, mixed tides on the Texas coast (often two small highs a day). Wind matters more than tide.
- Wed, Dec 17 · 12:00 AM — Apogee · 406,321 kmMoon farthest from Earth: tides run a little smaller than usual.

- Fri, Dec 19 · 7:43 PM — New MoonSpring tides: the biggest tidal ranges and strongest currents of the cycle. Fish often feed hard on moving water.
- Fri, Dec 26 · 4:00 PM — Moon crosses the equatorEquatorial tides: weak, mixed tides on the Texas coast (often two small highs a day). Wind matters more than tide.
- Sat, Dec 27 · 1:09 PM — First QuarterNeap tides: smaller ranges and weaker currents. Fish structure and wind-driven water.
