Where this tide comes from
Ilha de Itamaracá has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Recife (TICON-4), 21 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 Ilha de Itamaracá
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.5 ft
- Significant3.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.2 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.2 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.2 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces east 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 Friday 30: 3.5 ft with a period of 7 s, from the east-southeast (slight).
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.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.1 °F).

Surf in Ilha de Itamaracá today
Surf today

- Falling tide (low tide at 11:29 am)
- Light: First light 4:31 am · sunrise 4:52 am · sunset 5:14 pm · last light 5:35 pm
- Tide: high 5:14 am (6.6 ft), low 11:29 am (-0.2 ft), high 5:44 pm (6.3 ft) and low 11:46 pm (0.5 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.
- Water at 83.8 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 19 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window is 5:00 am to 9:00 am, 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, 4:50 am to 6:10 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 10:40 am to 12:10 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,432 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:19–2:19 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:16–7:16 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:22–8:22 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.

Water depth
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 100 ft from shore.

- 33 ft deep100 ft
- 66 ft deep490 ft
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 61 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 100 ft and 66 ft at 490 ft from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
