Next Full Moon is the Pink Moon of April 2039 after 18 days on 9 April 2039 at 02:53.
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
The Moon is 26 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final part of current synodic month. This is lunation 484 of Meeus index or 1437 from Brown series.

Length of current synodic month is 1 hour and 58 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 5 hours and 5 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠83.5°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠120.7°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
7 days after point of perigee on 13 March 2039 at 18:38 in ♎ Libra. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 8 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 29 March 2039 at 17:29 in ♉ Taurus.

3 days after previous South standstill on 18 March 2039 at 11:25 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-24.232°. Next 11 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠24.377° in the next northern standstill on 1 April 2039 at 20:16 in ♋ Cancer.
After 3 days on 24 March 2039 at 17:59 in ♓ Pisces, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
