Tide coefficient 86 for the 8:17 am high tide and 84 for the 8:31 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 18.1 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on March 19 (18.2 ft) and the lowest, on April 18 (-1.6 ft).

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

Heights above MLWS. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLWS

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Paço do Lumiar has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Ponta da Madeira (São Luís, TICON-4), 19 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.

Night Day Tide Slack Good Fair Poor 1 1:20–2:50 pm2 7:30–9:20 am

The best window, 1:20 pm to 2:50 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 7:30 am to 9:20 am, with slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak 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.

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.
