One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 4.9 ft with a period of 7 s, from the south (moderate).
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 81.4 °F by Tuesday 3.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 5:00 am to 5:40 am, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 10:00 am to 11:30 am, with slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with some swell and 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.

The moon in Praia da Ribeira
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,432 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:02–2:02 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 12:34–2:34 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:20–7:20 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:49–8:49 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.
