One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.6 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 4: 3.7 ft with a period of 6 s, from the southeast (slight).

Surf in Praia da Vila (Imbituba) today
Surf today
Poor- 1.4–2.1 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 1.7 ft swell at 6 s from the east-southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (2 mph): glassy water
- Falling tide (low tide at 11:33 am)
- Light: First light 5:00 am · sunrise 5:25 am · sunset 6:32 pm · last light 6:57 pm
- Tide: high 4:40 am (1.2 ft), low 11:33 am (0.6 ft), high 2:47 pm (1.0 ft) and low 11:11 pm (-0.3 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 67.3 °F–68.2 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 20 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:00 am to 9:00 am, has glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 5:00 pm to 6:57 pm can also work, 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,718 mi away and looks 32′ 44″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:49–3:49 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:21–4:21 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:25–8:25 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 10:17–11:17 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. Deep water close in: about 56 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 0.35 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).
