Lunar events this month
- Sat, Aug 5 · 3:10 AM — Full Moon · Sturgeon MoonSpring tides: the biggest tidal ranges and strongest currents of the cycle. Fish often feed hard on moving water.
- Tue, Aug 8 · 3:00 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 · 8:00 AM — Apogee · 405,891 kmMoon farthest from Earth: tides run a little smaller than usual.
- Sun, Aug 13 · 6:46 AM — Last QuarterNeap tides: smaller ranges and weaker currents. Fish structure and wind-driven water.
- Tue, Aug 15 · 10:00 AM — Moon farthest north (25.2°)Tropic tides: on the Texas coast this brings one big high and one big low a day, with the strongest daily range.
- Sun, Aug 20 · 5:44 AM — New 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.
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 Sun 1:45 AM.
