Where this tide comes from
Alcobaça has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 2.1 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.
Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.
The sea at Alcobaça
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant1.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.0 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.0 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.0 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 2.4 ft with a period of 5 s, from the southeast (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water warms over the next few days: about 82.0 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.3 °F).

Surf in Alcobaça today
Surf today
Poor- 1.0–1.5 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 0.9 ft swell at 5 s from the east-southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- 1.1 ft wind swell at 2 s: messy waves
- Light cross-shore wind (7 mph): a bit of chop
- Falling tide (low tide at 10:37 am)
- Light: First light 4:38 am · sunrise 5:00 am · sunset 5:41 pm · last light 6:04 pm
- Tide: high 4:35 am (4.0 ft), low 10:37 am (-3.3 ft), high 4:46 pm (3.6 ft) and low 10:58 pm (-3.9 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 80.4 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 5 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window is 5:00 am to 9:00 am, though with small waves, a short-period swell and wind 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.

- Night dive: dark from 6:04 pm. Waning gibbous (92%), rising at 8:33 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:40 am to 11:40 am, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 4:10 pm to 5:30 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak 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 226,432 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:05–2:05 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 12:37–2:37 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:13–7:13 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:03–9:03 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 43 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 160 ft and 66 ft at 800 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).
