Default Question: Judging High Tide by the Moon

Approximately when is high tide? [ 1 pt ]


Are we right on the ocean, or somewhere up a coastal bay? On the Ocean
the high tide will occur around lunar noon (when the moon is at it's
highest point in the sky) and again about twelve hours and 25 minutes
later. So let's say about 10pm and then about 10:30am the next day.

On a basin like, say, Rehoboth Bay tides can lag by several hours.
Check the local tide charts.
