Where this tide comes from
Iguape has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Fortaleza (UHSLC 283, TICON-4), 20 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.

The sea at Iguape
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.3 ft
- Significant4.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest9.5 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 9.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 9.5 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces northeast 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 Thursday 29: 5.1 ft with a period of 6 s, from the east-northeast (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

- Tide: high 5:40 am (8.2 ft), low 11:39 am (0.1 ft) and high 5:56 pm (8.6 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.

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 2:00 pm to 5:45 pm, has a good size, though with a short-period swell, wind swell and onshore wind.
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, 5:10 am to 6:30 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 11:00 am to 12:20 pm, with slack water at low tide, weak current and the sun high, though with moderate wind.
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.

The moon in Iguape
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
- 12:33–2:33 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:38–7:38 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:28–8:28 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 1 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 1.2 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).
