Unusual earthly tide event

Forgive me for this off topic ( since it wont affect prospect but north brooklyn coast for sure):

Tomorrow morning at approximately 7:52 AM is the PROXIGEAN SPRING TIDE. Its a quite rare high tide when regional high tide coincides with the closest approach new moon . So..if you go to a marsh area, or even coastal shoreline, you will see unusually higher tide than usual.It might be most observed in a marsh area when bird dwellers are forced out of the sea grasses/reeds... (marine park, Plumb Beach, any of the Brooklyn inlets,etc)

here's more info on PST explanation: http://home.hiwaay.net/~krcool/Astro/moon/moontides/
