- Fri, Dec 6 · 3:00 AM — Perigee · 356,425 kmMoon closest to Earth: tides run a little larger than usual for the phase.
- Sat, Dec 7 · 1:00 AM — Moon farthest north (18.3°)Tropic tides: on the Texas coast this brings one big high and one big low a day, with the strongest daily range.
- Thu, Dec 12 · 7:06 PM — Last QuarterNeap tides: smaller ranges and weaker currents. Fish structure and wind-driven water.
- Fri, Dec 13 · 9:00 AM — Moon crosses the equatorEquatorial tides: weak, mixed tides on the Texas coast (often two small highs a day). Wind matters more than tide.
- Thu, Dec 19 · 6:00 PM — Apogee · 406,644 kmMoon farthest from Earth: tides run a little smaller than usual.
- Fri, Dec 20 · 10:14 PM — New MoonSpring tides: the biggest tidal ranges and strongest currents of the cycle. Fish often feed hard on moving 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 Sun 10:01 PM.
