Your day at a glance

The best window, 5:10 pm to 6:00 pm, combines the 5:27 pm high tide, sunset, a light onshore breeze and some swell. Also worth a try from 4:40 am to 5:30 am, with the 5:17 am high tide, sunrise and some swell, though with rising pressure. Also good from 10:40 am to 1:40 pm, with the 11:42 am low tide, a major period, a light onshore breeze and some swell.

Tide coefficient 89 for the 5:17 am high tide and 85 for the 5:27 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 5.3 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: an average range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides.

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on March 19 (6.4 ft) and the lowest, on August 12 (-0.6 ft).

Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Belmonte has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Canavieiras (TICON-4), 15 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.

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 8.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 8.2 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 5 mph S · gusts 12

Cross-shore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 5:00 am to 8:00 am, has a good size, though with a short-period swell. 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 11:10 am to 12:10 pm, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 4:50 pm to 5:40 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with waves.

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.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:04–2:04 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 12:36–2:36 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 6:15–7:15 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:58–8:58 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.

Water depth

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.3 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.4 mi.

From the shoreline (1.1 mi from Belmonte) out to sea, heading east.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.3 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.4 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.3 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
  • Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
  • Diving. 33 ft deep 0.4 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 3.1 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
