Legend — How to read this forecast
High Tide / Low Tide — Predicted peak and trough water levels with time and height.
Sunrise / Sunset — Local times for the station’s timezone.
Moon Phase — Current lunar phase and illumination percentage. New/Full moons correlate with stronger (spring) tides; Quarter moons with weaker (neap) tides.
Spring / Neap — Spring tides (near new/full moon) have larger tidal ranges. Neap tides (near quarter moons) have smaller ranges. Moderate is in between.
Fishing (Solunar) — ★★★★★ 1–5 star rating based on moon phase and lunar distance. Best fishing is typically around new and full moons when the moon is closest (perigee). Major feeding periods occur when the moon is overhead or underfoot.
