Lunar events this month
- Sun, Mar 6 · 2:00 AM — Apogee · 406,341 kmMoon farthest from Earth: tides run a little smaller than usual.
- Tue, Mar 8 · 9:23 AM — Full Moon · Worm MoonSpring tides: the biggest tidal ranges and strongest currents of the cycle. Fish often feed hard on moving water.
- Tue, Mar 8 · 1:00 PM — Moon crosses the equatorEquatorial tides: weak, mixed tides on the Texas coast (often two small highs a day). Wind matters more than tide.
- Tue, Mar 15 · 4:00 PM — Moon farthest south (-20.4°)Tropic tides: one big high and one big low a day, with the strongest daily range.
- Wed, Mar 16 · 5:08 AM — Last QuarterNeap tides: smaller ranges and weaker currents. Fish structure and wind-driven water.

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 Thu 10:30 PM.
