Where this tide comes from
Praia Baixo has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Praia (TICON-4), 10.0 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 common1.4 ft
- Significant2.9 ft
- Highest expectedHighest5.8 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 5.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 5.8 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind blows along the shore: drift and current run parallel to the beach.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 3.5 ft with a period of 10 s, from the southeast (slight).
Water temperature

Surf in Praia Baixo today
Surf today
Poor- 1.0–1.5 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard

- Rising tide (high tide at 9:49 am)
- Light: First light 6:07 am · sunrise 6:29 am · sunset 6:07 pm · last light 6:29 pm
- Tide: low 3:38 am (0.4 ft), high 9:49 am (4.0 ft), low 3:49 pm (0.4 ft) and high 10:08 pm (4.3 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 82.8 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 83 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window is 7:00 am to 11:00 am, though with small waves. 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm can also work, though with small waves.
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 Baixo today

- Likely visibility: good. Swell (up to 2.2 ft at 11 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 82.8 °F: a shorty or a rash guard.
- Snorkeling: doable, with some waves or wind.
- Night dive: dark from 6:29 pm. Waning gibbous (92%), rising at 8:15 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:00 am to 10:50 am, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 3:30 pm to 4:20 pm, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak 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- 1:00–3:00 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:31–3:31 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:16–9:16 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:45–8:45 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 0.25 mi from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.25 mi and 66 ft at 0.3 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).
