↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 21 min to low tide at 10:14 pm.
Tide coefficient 77 for the 3:28 am high tide and 69 for the 2:24 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 1.8 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 July 13 (2.3 ft) and the lowest, on February 1 (-0.9 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above MLWS. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLWS
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 24 to 26 (coefficient 101, 2.1 ft range). The smallest, on October 2 (coefficient 20, 1.2 ft).

The sea at Imbituba
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.7 ft
- Significant3.4 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.1 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 Monday 2: 4.3 ft with a period of 6 s, from the east-northeast (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water warms over the next few days: about 71.0 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water colder than normal for late October (−2.0 °F).

Surf in Imbituba today
Surf today
Poor- 2.0–3.1 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.5 ft swell at 6 s from the east-southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Light cross-shore wind (9 mph): a bit of chop
- Falling tide (low tide at 10:31 am)
- Light: First light 5:01 am · sunrise 5:26 am · sunset 6:32 pm · last light 6:56 pm
- Tide: high 3:28 am (1.4 ft), low 10:31 am (0.2 ft), high 2:24 pm (1.0 ft) and low 10:14 pm (-0.4 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 67.1 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 48 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:01 am to 8:00 am, has a good size, though with a short-period swell. 9:00 am to 11:00 am can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell and onshore 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.
Diving in Imbituba today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around high tide (2:24 pm): little current from 2:09 pm to 2:40 pm
- 2.0 ft swell at 7 s from the southeast: some surge on the bottom
- Moderate onshore wind (16 mph)
- 0.8 mph current toward the south-southwest (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 3:28 am (3:00–4:00 am), low tide 10:31 am (10:10–10:50 am), high tide 2:24 pm (2:09–2:40 pm) and low tide 10:14 pm (9:50–10:30 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 5.7 ft at 10 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 67.1 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:56 pm. Waning gibbous (92%), rising at 9:41 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 1:50 pm to 3:00 pm, combines slack water at high tide and the sun high, though with moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 9:50 am to 11:20 am, with slack water at low tide and the sun high, though with moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 5:30 am to 6:30 am, with light wind, though with tidal current and 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.

The moon in Imbituba
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,432 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:45–2:45 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:16–3:16 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:26–7:26 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:11–10:11 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 0.45 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 0.5 mi and 66 ft at 0.7 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).
