Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Espinho has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.4 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.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, has a good size and glassy water, though with big surf. 11:00 am to 12:00 pm can also work, with a good size and glassy water, though with big surf. 7:00 am to 10:00 am can also work, with a good size and glassy water, though with big surf.

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.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:10 am to 10:40 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell. Also worth a look from 3:10 pm to 4:40 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with a big swell.

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.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 12:58–2:58 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:29–3:29 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:28–10:28 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:27–7:27 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.

Water depth

Shallow, gradual

Shallow, gradual bottom: you need to go 1.5 mi out for 33 ft of water.

From the shoreline (0.25 mi from Espinho) out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep1,200 ft
  • 33 ft deep1.5 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 1,200 ft): 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 1.5 mi. For dives deeper than 33 ft, go by boat.
