1. All times use Port Aransas, Texas local time.
2. Times are in 24-hour format, i.e., military time.
3. Percentage is the fraction of the moon illuminated at midnight central standard time.
4. Astronomical data obtained from the U.S. Naval Observatory.
5. Tidal prediction data obtained from NOAA published table 2009 NOAA Tide Predictions: Port Aransas (H. Caldwell Pier). (Reference station: Galveston, Corrections Applied: Times: High -0 hr. 46 min., Low -1 hr. 26 min., Heights: High *1.15, Low *0.77) All heights are in feet referenced to Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW).
