Where this tide comes from
Salinas da Margarida has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Salvador (UHSLC 708, TICON-4), 18 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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 5:00 am to 6:40 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 10:50 am to 12:30 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.
