minutes of variation depending on your exact location).
The Full Moon will technically be 99.8% full

those planning a moonlit stroll along the beach on the U.S. East Coast, this Full Moon brings along with it a 3.1-foot

minutes of variation depending on your exact location. A very low tide will occur at 1:23 a.m. Thursday morning.
