One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 7.6 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 7.6 ft.

Offshore (9.3 mi ESE)Offshore 6 mph WNW · gusts 10

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

The best window, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, has glassy water, 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.

We don't have a reliable tide for São Vicente, so slack water doesn't count in the rating.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:39–3:39 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:12–4:12 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 7:28–8:28 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 9:55–10:55 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.
