The Moon, just shy of full phase, rises impressively from the east horizon on Tuesday, April 27 at around 7:05pm, some 20 minutes before the time of sunset. Some folk names for April full moons include "growing moon," "seed moon," "planter's moon," and "green grass moon."
April's Lowest Tides, associated with the full moon, drop to as low as -1.3 feet late this week. On Thursday morning (April 29) at 4:35am, the tide bottoms out at -1.3 feet. Friday morning's lowest tide of -1.1 feet occurs at 5:19am -- more forgiving of even the most morning-oriented of morning persons. By Saturday (May 1) at 6:06am, you may get some access to coastal tidepools during a low tide measuring –0.7 feet.
