↓ Falling The tide is falling. 16 min to low tide at 9:12 pm.

Tide coefficient 84 for the 4:11 am high tide and 76 for the 4:15 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 4.6 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 August 11 (3.1 ft) and the lowest, on February 18 (-2.9 ft).

Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

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

Tide coefficient and range in October

The biggest tides of the month came from October 24 to 26 (coefficient 108, 5.2 ft range). The smallest, on October 2 (coefficient 23, 2.0 ft).

Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Pontal do Paraná has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global EOT20 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 9.1 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.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 5:04 am to 9:00 am, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 6:00 pm to 6:52 pm can also work, 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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 8:30 am to 10:10 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 3:20 pm to 4:50 pm, with slack water at high tide, 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.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:44–2:44 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

  • 6:32–7:32 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 9:03–10:03 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.
