    January's full moon is a bit more special today as it is also the Wolf Moon.

    Peak viewing time is between 11:48pm tonight, Monday January 17th.

    A full moon occurs when the moon is situated on the opposite side of Earth to the sun, which means its face can be fully illuminated.

    Early Native American tribes named January's full after the wolf, as this was the time of year when packs of the animal would howl outside their camps.

    Should also result in high tides, which imo will very likely occur somewhere around midnight and noon respectively....

    1040hr & 2300hr GMT on the 17th, with heights of 8.23 & 8.14m respectively.

    The highest tide recorded at Southport is 10m.

    Facts are so much more important than opinions.

    It is indeed a fact, that the highest tides always occur on, or to be more precise, just after a new or full moon.....Has to do with the pull of the moon and sun, creating an oceanic bulge. However, the shape of a landmass can retard/advance the timings around the coast
    a little. So, want to see a high tide? Get down to the seafront by noon, just one day after a full or new moon. ;-)

    The PNP is correct, give or take a couple of hours.
    In all matters, education is much more important than dumb sarcasm.

    My navigational qualifications are at only a modest level (RYA Coastal Navigation) but I can assure you that a couple of hours error in tide times is a potential shipwreck.

    I read Mathematics at University, and consider myself well educated.
    I still think facts are more important than opinions.

    I feel sure, that any self-respecting sailor would consult his table of tides, before making navigational decisions. Having said that, a simple glance from home at the moon on any night, will give a ball-park idea of where we are on the springs-neaps cycle.

    Absolutely and that is just what I did. The internet makes tide tables so much easier to use than the old books and offsets. I don't do the looking at the Moon bit anymore because the error can be significant, and the Moon isn't always visible.I do, however, use the Sun and my watch to identify which way is South (but the Sun isn't visible a lot either so often have to use an app)!

    What a great dispute. Qlocal should definitely include tide arguments! I was present at a Spring tide in the late 80's. In Tarleton. In Mayer's Boatyard. With the added zest of a strong westerly. We stood there, on the levee, armed and protected by cans of beer, as we watched the tide crawl up the levee. It lapped over the top slightly. But our footware stayed mainly dry. It receeded, and we retired to our vessels.
