Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

Where this tide comes from
Gaspar Hernández has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Puerto Plata (UHSLC, TICON-4), 30 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,429 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:15–3:15 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:47–3:47 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:43–9:43 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:49–8:49 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity
According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.
