Are the waves at the beach still big a day after the full moon?

Question

are the waves at the beach still big a day after the full moon?

like tomorrow is the full moon.

but are the waves still big the next day?

Answer 1

I hope you are aware that it has nothing intrinsically to do with the fullness of the moon.  The reason you get high tides at full moon is that the moon and the sun are diametrically opposite each other, and the sun contributes a considerable amount of pull on the tides which adds to the effect.

(I do hope you realise a full moon is not bigger than any other moon, and that it just has its Earth-facing side fully lit by the sun.  I say this because some people think when they see a half moon that only half is there.)

The large tidal effect will persist the day after full moon, since the moon's position in relation to the sun will only be a little changed

Answer 2

  The moon doesn't make waves,weather does.

Answer 3

The phase of the moon has nothing at all to do with wave size. Waves are caused by wind, not by the moon.

Answer 4

The full moon does not cause big waves. It causes spring tides.
