Where this tide comes from
São Miguel do Gostoso has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.6 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.
Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.

Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.7 ft
- Significant3.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest6.9 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.9 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.9 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 4.0 ft with a period of 6 s, from the east-northeast (slight).

- 1.2 ft swell at 13 s from the north-northwest, clean

- Moderate offshore wind (14 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 12:12 pm)

- Tide: low 12:01 am (-4.0 ft), high 5:57 am (3.6 ft), low 12:12 pm (-3.2 ft) and high 6:13 pm (4.0 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 82.8 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 54 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 8:00 am to 11:00 am, has a clean swell and light offshore wind, though with wind swell. 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm can also work, with a good size and a clean swell, though with wind swell and cross-shore 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.35 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.4 mi and 66 ft at 0.6 mi from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
