Solunar theory says fish feed more when the moon is overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 hours) and around moonrise and moonset (minor periods, about 1 hour). We score each day from 1 to 10 by checking when those periods happen, using the NOAA tide predictions for station 8722862 and the sun times for this spot:
| Base | every day starts at 1 | 1 |
|---|---|---|
| Sunrise / sunset | a period overlaps sunrise or sunset ±1 h: major +2, minor +1 (max 3) (Moon overhead × sunrise +2; Moon underfoot × sunset +2) | 3 |
| Tide | a NOAA high or low falls inside a period (tide change): major +2, minor +1; moving water during a major period (no high/low within 1 h of it) +1 (max 4) | 0 |
| Moon phase | within 2 days of a new or full moon +2, within 4 days +1 (today: 6.6 days) | 0 |
| Today | 4, rounded | 4/10 |
1–3 poor · 4–5 fair · 6–7 good · 8–10 excellent. Solunar times are a rule of thumb, not a guarantee: weather, water temperature and bait matter a lot. Tide changes and moving water are specific to this station, so nearby spots can score differently.
Solunar periods calculated for 26.24, -80.13 (moon times from astronomical equations, local time). Not a fishing forecast.

Tide times and heights (ft, MLLW) are NOAA predictions for station 8722862; first light (civil dawn), sunrise, sunset and last light (civil dusk) are calculated for Pompano Beach with the NOAA solar equations. Times are local.
Pompano Beach has a semidiurnal tide: two high tides and two low tides of similar height each day. The average rise or fall between high and low tide is 2.5 ft, growing to about 3.4 ft at spring tides (around new and full moon) and shrinking to about 2.2 ft at neap tides (around the quarter moons). The highest tide predicted in the next 12 months is 3.8 ft on September 30, 2027 at 8:58 AM; the lowest is -0.9 ft on January 23, 2027 at 2:22 AM, and 248 low tides in that period drop below zero (MLLW).
Computed from 12 months of NOAA high/low predictions for station 8722862 (Hillsboro Inlet (Ocean)); heights in feet above MLLW.

Pompano Beach is a city in Broward County, Florida, on the Atlantic coast north of Fort Lauderdale.
NOAA's Hillsboro Inlet (ocean) station was chosen over the marina and Intracoastal Waterway stations at the inlet, since beach tides follow the open coast.
On Mon, Nov 2, predicted high tide for Pompano Beach (NOAA station Hillsboro Inlet (Ocean)) is at 1:45 AM (3.1 ft), 2:27 PM (3.2 ft) local time.
On Mon, Nov 2, predicted low tide for Pompano Beach is at 8:10 AM (0.7 ft), 8:49 PM (0.8 ft) local time.
On Tue, Nov 3, predicted high tides are at 2:56 AM (3.1 ft) and 3:28 PM (3.2 ft) for Pompano Beach; low tides are at 9:17 AM (0.7 ft) and 9:50 PM (0.6 ft) (local time).
NOAA CO-OPS station 8722862 (Hillsboro Inlet (Ocean), FL), a subordinate station (time and height offsets from a reference station), about 3.5 miles from the Pompano Beach reference point. Heights are in feet above Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW).
On Mon, Nov 2, first light (civil dawn) is about 6:06 AM, sunrise 6:30 AM, sunset 5:37 PM and last light (civil dusk) 6:01 PM local time (calculated).
