How this rating works

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 9455735 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 × sunset +2)	2
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) (Moon underfoot – moving water +1)	1
Moon phase	within 2 days of a new or full moon +2, within 4 days +1 (today: 4.4 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 60.50, -151.28 (moon times from astronomical equations, local time). Not a fishing forecast.

Chinulna Point, Cook Inlet 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 17.1 ft, growing to about 26.2 ft at spring tides (around new and full moon) and shrinking to about 12.6 ft at neap tides (around the quarter moons). The highest tide predicted in the next 12 months is 25.4 ft on November 25, 2026 at 4:04 PM; the lowest is -5.0 ft on July 5, 2027 at 12:12 PM, and 177 low tides in that period drop below zero (MLLW).
