2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on March 20 (5.7 ft) and the lowest, on July 15 (0.2 ft).
Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)

Where this tide comes from
Baía Farta has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Lobito (TICON-4), 31 mi away. On the open coast the difference is usually a few minutes and inches; inside estuaries, rivers and enclosed bays it can be much larger.

The sea at Baía Farta
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant2.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 2.8 ft with a period of 9 s, from the west-southwest (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 3.6 °F less 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably colder than the forecast says.
Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 74.9 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.9 °F).

Surf in Baía Farta today
Surf today
Poor- 1.2–1.8 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 1.9 ft swell at 8 s from the west-southwest, short: weak, messy waves; it hits this coast at an angle
- Almost no wind (4 mph): glassy water
- First or last light of the day
- Falling tide (low tide at 11:39 am)
- Light: First light 5:13 am · sunrise 5:35 am · sunset 6:07 pm · last light 6:29 pm
- Tide: high 5:27 am (5.0 ft), low 11:39 am (0.9 ft), high 5:55 pm (4.6 ft) and low 11:53 pm (1.2 ft). Every break has its own tide: some work at low tide and others at high tide. The tide doesn’t change the score here.
- Water at 78.1 °F–79.5 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 37 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:13 am to 9:00 am, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 11:00 am to 3:00 pm can also work, though with small waves and a short-period swell.
An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.
Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.
Diving in Baía Farta today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: good- Slack water around high tide (5:55 pm): little current from 5:30 pm to 6:20 pm

- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 2.2 ft at 9 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 78.1–79.5 °F: a 3 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:29 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 9:48 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 5:00 pm to 6:10 pm, combines slack water at high tide, little swell and light wind, though with current. Also worth a look from 10:40 am to 12:40 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with current.
Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:30–3:30 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:02–4:02 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:47–8:47 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:18–10:18 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity
According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 224 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 30 ft and 66 ft at 60 ft from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
