Have you ever look at a tide chart and thought, "Wait... where did the other high or low tide go?"
It isn't a mistake in the chart.

While our daily lives run on a 24-hour day, the ocean dances to the Moon's schedule. A lunar day lasts about 24 hours and 50 minutes, because as Earth spins, the Moon is also moving in its orbit. Earth has to rotate a little farther each day to "catch up" with the Moon.

That extra 50 minutes means each high and low tide arrives a little later than it did the day before. Every so often, one of those tides slips past midnight and shows up in the early hours of the next day. When that happens, it can look like a tide has mysteriously disappeared from the calendar, but it’s just the ocean keeping lunar time!

The Buck Moon climbs into the summer sky tommorow night 🌿🦌
This moon gets its name from the time of year when deer begin regrowing their antlers—symbolizing strength, renewal, and steady growth.

Peak Full Moon: July 29 at 10:37 AM (EDT)
Moonrise (Treasure Coast): ~8:30 PM

Even though it peaks during the day, the real show happens after sunset when it rises glowing over the Atlantic horizon.

A perfect night to step outside, look up, and take in the rhythm of the season.
