Where this tide comes from
Tarrafal de Monte Trigo has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Porto Grande (TICON-4), 23 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.

Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces west 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 Thursday 29: 4.8 ft with a period of 12 s, from the northwest (moderate).

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 8:40 am to 10:20 am, combines slack water at high tide and light wind, though with some swell and current. Also worth a look from 2:50 pm to 3:50 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind and the sun high, though with some swell 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,444 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:07–3:07 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:39–3:39 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:28–9:28 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:48–8:48 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. 33 ft of water just 650 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. 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 650 ft and 66 ft at 800 ft from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
