Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

Where this tide comes from
Figueiras 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.

The sea at Figueiras
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.8 ft
- Significant5.6 ft
- Highest expectedHighest11 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 11 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 11 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 5.7 ft with a period of 11 s, from the north-northwest (moderate).
Water temperature

Surf in Figueiras today
Surf today
Very good- 3.9–6.0 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 4.7 ft swell at 11 s from the north-northwest, average
- Moderate offshore wind (13 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- First or last light of the day
- Rising tide (high tide at 10:08 am)
- Light: First light 6:16 am · sunrise 6:38 am · sunset 6:11 pm · last light 6:33 pm
- Tide: low 4:02 am (0.4 ft), high 10:08 am (3.2 ft), low 4:07 pm (0.5 ft) and high 10:20 pm (3.5 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 81.1 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 484 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:16 am to 10:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind. 3:00 pm to 6:33 pm also works, with a good size and 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.
Diving in Figueiras today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: fair- Slack water around high tide (10:08 am): little current from 9:40 am to 10:30 am
- 4.7 ft swell at 11 s from the north-northwest: strong surge on the bottom
- Moderate cross-shore wind (14 mph)
- 0.8 mph current toward the northeast (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
Not a day for shore diving: swell, wind, current or storms during the best window. If you go, go with a dive shop and only if they give the OK.
- Slack water today: low tide 4:02 am (3:40–4:20 am), high tide 10:08 am (9:40–10:30 am), low tide 4:07 pm (3:50–4:30 pm) and high tide 10:20 pm (10:00–10:40 pm)
- Likely visibility: fair. Swell (up to 4.9 ft at 11 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 81.1 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:33 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 9:21 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:20 am to 11:10 am, combines slack water at high tide and the sun high, though with a big swell, moderate wind and current. Also worth a look from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm, with slack water at low tide and weak current, though with a big 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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

The moon in Figueiras
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,666 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:11–4:11 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:43–4:43 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:35–10:35 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:51–9:51 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 0.25 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.3 mi and 66 ft at 0.45 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).
