Lunar events this month
- Sat, Aug 4 · 7:00 PM — Moon farthest north (26.2°)Tropic tides: on the Texas coast this brings one big high and one big low a day, with the strongest daily range.
- Sun, Aug 5 · 7:00 PM — Apogee · 406,351 kmMoon farthest from Earth: tides run a little smaller than usual.
- Tue, Aug 7 · 7:26 PM — New MoonSpring tides: the biggest tidal ranges and strongest currents of the cycle. Fish often feed hard on moving water.
- Sun, Aug 12 · 2:00 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, Aug 15 · 1:36 PM — First QuarterNeap tides: smaller ranges and weaker currents. Fish structure and wind-driven water.
- Sat, Aug 18 · 2:00 PM — Moon farthest south (-26.5°)Tropic tides: one big high and one big low a day, with the strongest daily range.

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 Sat 11:30 AM.
