  • Sun, Dec 11 · 8:52 AM — Last QuarterNeap tides: smaller ranges and weaker currents. Fish structure and wind-driven water.
  • Sun, Dec 11 · 11:00 PM — Moon crosses the equatorEquatorial tides: weak, mixed tides on the Texas coast (often two small highs a day). Wind matters more than tide.

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.
