Where this tide comes from
Porto Gouveia has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Praia (TICON-4), 11 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.

The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.7 ft
- Significant3.4 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Offshore wind. The coast faces southwest 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 Monday 2: 3.6 ft with a period of 11 s, from the northwest (slight).

Surf in Porto Gouveia today
Surf today
Fair- 1.3–2.0 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.6 ft swell at 11 s from the northwest, average; it hits this coast at an angle
- Light offshore wind (7 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 10:35 am)
- Light: First light 6:08 am · sunrise 6:30 am · sunset 6:07 pm · last light 6:29 pm
- Tide: low 4:23 am (0.5 ft), high 10:35 am (3.8 ft), low 4:30 pm (0.6 ft) and high 10:54 pm (4.2 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 83.3 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 149 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:08 am to 10:00 am, has light offshore 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.

- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:29 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 9:20 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:30 am to 11:40 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm, with slack water at low tide and weak current, though with some swell and moderate wind.
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 226,666 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:04–4:04 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 9:23–10:23 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:50–9:50 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.
