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

Where this tide comes from
Itampolo has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 3.6 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.
Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.
The sea at Itampolo
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.5 ft
- Significant7.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest14 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 14 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 14 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-shore wind. The coast faces west 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 Thursday 29: 7.1 ft with a period of 7 s, from the south (moderate).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Surf in Itampolo today
Surf today
Good- 3.3–5.2 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 4.5 ft swell at 7 s from the south-southwest, short: weak, messy waves
- Moderate offshore wind (15 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (high tide at 6:48 am)
- Light: First light 4:55 am · sunrise 5:19 am · sunset 6:17 pm · last light 6:41 pm
- Tide: low 12:38 am (-3.7 ft), high 6:48 am (3.6 ft), low 1:00 pm (-3.3 ft) and high 7:01 pm (3.1 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 78.3 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 233 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:00 am to 9:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind, though with a short-period swell. 6:00 pm to 6:41 pm can also work, with a good size and light offshore wind, 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.
Diving in Itampolo today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (1:00 pm): little current from 12:40 pm to 1:20 pm
- 5.8 ft swell at 7 s from the south-southwest: strong surge on the bottom
- Moderate cross-shore wind (15 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the south, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: low tide 12:38 am (12:20–1:00 am), high tide 6:48 am (6:30–7:10 am), low tide 1:00 pm (12:40–1:20 pm) and high tide 7:01 pm (6:40–7:20 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 5.8 ft at 7 s) and rain (0.37 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 78.3 °F: a 3 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:41 pm. Waning gibbous (86%), rising at 10:10 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 12:20 pm to 2:00 pm, combines slack water at low tide, weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 6:00 am to 7:10 am, with slack water at high tide, though with some swell, moderate wind 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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,576 mi away and looks 32′ 46″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:22–3:22 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:54–3:54 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:09–8:09 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:40–10:40 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 0.55 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. Shallow near shore: you only reach 33 ft at 0.7 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
