Where this tide comes from
Cajueiro da Praia has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Luís Correia (TICON-4), 24 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 waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.8 ft
- Significant3.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.6 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces north 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 Monday 2: 4.3 ft with a period of 5 s, from the east-northeast (moderate).

Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, has light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell and wind swell. 5:02 am to 6:00 am can also work, with light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell and wind 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, 9:40 am to 11:50 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 5:00 am to 6:20 am, with slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also worth a look from 4:10 pm to 5:40 pm, with slack water at high tide and weak current, 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.

Today the moon is 226,432 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:14–2:14 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 6:53–7:53 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:39–8:39 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 0.55 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: the water doesn't reach 33 ft within 3.1 mi. For deeper dives, take a boat farther out.
