Very Low Tides this weekend, associated with the full moon, will open up opportunities for tidepool gazing. The four lowest tides of the coming days are: Thursday, February 25 at 1:10pm (-1.2 feet); Friday at 1:47pm (-1.5 feet); Saturday at 2:22pm (-1.5 feet); and Sunday at 2:57pm (-1.3 feet). Very high tides will also occur within that string of days, most notably on Friday at 6:58am (+6.2 feet); Saturday at 7:45am (+6.3 feet); and on Sunday at 8:31am (+6.2 feet).
February's Full Moon, on Sunday, the 28th, rises dramatically over the mountains to the east at around 6:20pm, some 40 minutes after the time of sunset. Watch its bubble-like disk materializes in the almost-dark sky. The following morning, you can watch the moon fade in dawn's glare while sinking into the Pacific. When observed near the horizon, the full moon often seems to be larger than life. The effect, called the "moon illusion" is purely psychological, which is to say "it's all in your head."
