While the "theory" might imply high tide at lunar noon, it doesn't work out that
way in practice.


Yes. I think that's what I was trying to illustrate with my "random"
examples.

Rather than randomly sampling tides, try looking at the tables I posted:

Good point. While a random sample will disprove the connection between
lunar noon and high tide, these charts give a better idea of the overal
trend. Worth a second look.
