Could barely get my boat off the lift yesterday and even at high tide it was unusually low.
Assuming it's the moon phase or spring tide.Anyone have any more detail?

Northerly wind(particularly north easterly), behind the recent cold front, tends to push the water offshore. Kinda the same way a hurricane can push water onto the shore(surge). This is a reverse surge, so to speak.

An offshore wind, sustained for hours, or days, combined with a low spring tide, gets you pretty skinny water.
