Perhaps this is why you got the nice low tide.

Conjunction : 24, 25 Dec  2007 (yesterday and today) there is a conjunction.
A major one of sorts!

Mars, Earth, Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter all along with the Galactic center.

Wonder why no news of this - Shelling in low-low tides and high-high
tides bring in
the next days catch might be continuing for a some more days.  Some
planets are slow
movers while others that are fast hardly make a difference (Mercury).

I know on Kwajalein we had normal low and high tides and were concerned of
over-flow on high-high tides in a storm.  The mean height was 6' or less
than 2 M.
