What's going on with the tides?

What's going on with the tides?

In the five years that I've lived in my home, I've NEVER seen the tides as low as it was today. Anyone get a chance to see, or know what's going on? Is there a full moon tonight (still, even full moon tides are not this drastic).

Probably something to do with the storm...just wondering if anyone heard anything about the LI Beaches.
Thanks

There's a new moon tomorrow night. That probably explains it. It does seem though that every year the tides get lower and lower.

FUnny, after I posted this, I looked up and found out about the new moon...but I've never seen it this low.

My parents have a beach house that we go to in the summer and I've been going since I was a baby. Every year the low tides get lower and lower. Last year when there was a new moon and it was low tide, we were literally stranded. There was only a narrow strip of water and it wasn't deep enough for the boat to drive in. We had to stay until high tide.
