Where this tide comes from
Ilhéus has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global EOT20 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 4.0 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.

The sea at Ilhéus
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.5 ft
- Significant3.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.2 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: 3.1 ft with a period of 6 s, from the east-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 80.8 °F by Tuesday 3.

Surf in Ilhéus today
Surf today
Poor- 1.6–2.5 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.4 ft swell at 5 s from the southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Light offshore wind (7 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 10:42 am)
- Light: First light 4:40 am · sunrise 5:02 am · sunset 5:38 pm · last light 6:00 pm
- Tide: high 4:36 am (3.3 ft), low 10:42 am (-2.8 ft), high 4:46 pm (2.9 ft) and low 11:02 pm (-3.3 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 79.2 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 25 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:00 am to 7:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 8:00 am to 12:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell. 4:00 pm to 5:00 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.
Diving in Ilhéus today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around low tide (10:42 am): little current from 10:20 am to 11:10 am
- 2.6 ft swell at 5 s from the east-southeast: some surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (8 mph)
- 0.6 mph current toward the north (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 4:36 am (4:20–5:00 am), low tide 10:42 am (10:20–11:10 am), high tide 4:46 pm (4:20–5:10 pm) and low tide 11:02 pm (10:40–11:30 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 3.4 ft at 7 s) and rain (1.70 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 79.2 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:00 pm. Waning gibbous (92%), rising at 8:26 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, light wind and the sun high, though with current. Also worth a look from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm, with slack water at high tide and light wind, 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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

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
- 12:36–2:36 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:18–7:18 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:56–8:56 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. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.4 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.9 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, 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).
