Tue, Mar 6 · 10:00 AM — Perigee · 358,573 kmMoon closest to Earth: tides run a little larger than usual for the phase.
Tue, Mar 6 · 6:00 PM — Moon crosses the equatorEquatorial tides: weak, mixed tides on the Texas coast (often two small highs a day). Wind matters more than tide.
Mon, Mar 12 · 2:01 AM — Last QuarterNeap tides: smaller ranges and weaker currents. Fish structure and wind-driven water.
Tue, Mar 13 · 12:00 AM — Moon farthest south (-18.5°)Tropic tides: one big high and one big low a day, with the strongest daily range.
Mon, Mar 19 · 10:45 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.
