In other words, they found that once post-glacial rebound effects and
lunar cycle effects had been accounted for, the sea level rise had essentially been constant (1.18 mm / year) since at least the start of the tidal gauge records (1849).

To reveal the

I do think the strongest piece of the [McClintock] study is that women's
cycles can be affected by
lunar phases in the same location in the same way and that if they are sleeping and rising at the same time, therefore exposed to the same light / dark exposure, that those two things can create synchrony via the pineal gland, which consequently moderates melatonin's
effect on ovulation patterns.

Update (26th March 2015): Indeed, a recent paper by Jens Morten Hansen et al. has suggested that, after accounting for the post-glacial rebound
effects discussed above, the 18.6 year
lunar cycle (and multiples of it) can explain most of the non-linear trends in the sea level data for the North Sea and Baltic Sea — see Hansen et al., 2015 (Abstract).
