Where this tide comes from
Tibau do Sul has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Natal (TICON-4), 31 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.

Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:52–2:52 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.4 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. 33 ft deep 0.6 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1.2 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.
