Question

When the declination of the Moon is 0&deg;12.5'S, you can expect some tidal currents in Gulf Coast ports to __________.

Accepted Answer

Option D: become weak and variable. When the Moon's declination is near zero (equinoctial tides), diurnal inequalities in Gulf Coast mixed tides are minimized, often resulting in complex, weak, and highly variable tidal currents as outlined in NOAA tide tables and Bowditch.
