Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.

The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.8 ft
- Significant3.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest7.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Offshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Tuesday 3: 4.6 ft with a period of 7 s, from the east-southeast (moderate).

Surf in Praia das Palmas today
Surf today
Fair- 2.3–3.5 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.8 ft swell at 8 s from the south-southeast, short: weak, messy waves
- Almost no wind (2 mph): glassy water
- Rising tide (high tide at 2:51 pm)
- Light: First light 4:54 am · sunrise 5:17 am · sunset 6:12 pm · last light 6:35 pm
- Tide: high 3:13 am (3.3 ft), low 10:31 am (0.4 ft), high 2:51 pm (2.7 ft) and low 10:38 pm (-0.1 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 73.6 °F–75.0 °F: a rash guard or a neoprene top.
- Energy: 84 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm, has a good size and glassy water, though with a short-period swell. 5:00 am to 7:00 am can also work, with a good size, 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.
Diving in Praia das Palmas today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around low tide (10:31 am): little current from 10:16 am to 10:50 am
- 3.0 ft swell at 8 s from the south-southeast: some surge on the bottom
- Light onshore wind (6 mph)
- 0.3 mph current toward the south, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 3:13 am (2:50–3:50 am), low tide 10:31 am (10:16–10:50 am), high tide 2:51 pm (2:36–3:10 pm) and low tide 10:38 pm (10:20–10:53 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 4.3 ft at 7 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 73.6–75.0 °F: a 3 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:35 pm. Waning gibbous (92%), rising at 9:13 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:50 am to 11:10 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 2:20 pm to 4:10 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with some swell.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,432 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:30–2:30 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:01–3:01 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 6:23–7:23 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:43–9:43 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 1.6 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 near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 1.6 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
