[quote=MN3]Yup new moon tides are pretty high
I actually got my powerboat in today at 9am (lowtide) and it was higher than some high-tides are around here. I lasted about 30 minutes on the water - it was too choppy for me so i packed it in.
If you park on the causeway close to Glenn's (high and dry restaurant and rental shack) there should be enough room for your car and trailer regardless of the tide and when you get back you can pull your car/trailer up 30' or so to give yourself more room (of course you will probably need to ask a few people to get out from infront of your trailer). ya gotta get there pretty early to beat all the yakers
This is a great resource for tides and current wind conditions- [url=https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/noaatidepredictions.html?id=8726706&legacy=1]https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/noaatidepredictions.html?id=8726706&legacy=1[/url]
I keep it bookmarked on my phone for on the fly checks of tide and windspeed
Another good tip is to look at where the seagrass line is - that is where the tide is gonna be at some point next high tide
