Where this tide comes from
Mosteiros has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Ponta Delgada (TICON-4), 14 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 Mosteiros
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.3 ft
- Significant6.7 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
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces northwest and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Saturday 31: 9.9 ft with a period of 9 s, from the north (rough).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 69.1 °F by Tuesday 3.

Surf in Mosteiros today
Surf today
Good- 3.5–5.4 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 4.3 ft swell at 9 s from the north-northwest, a bit short
- Moderate offshore wind (14 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Falling tide (high tide at 2:32 pm)
- Light: First light 6:38 am · sunrise 7:05 am · sunset 5:49 pm · last light 6:16 pm
- Tide: high 2:11 am (5.6 ft), low 8:23 am (0.9 ft), high 2:32 pm (5.4 ft) and low 8:41 pm (1.0 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 70.5 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 264 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 11:00 am, has a good size and light offshore wind. 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm also works, with a good size.
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 Mosteiros today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around high tide (2:32 pm): little current from 2:10 pm to 2:50 pm
- 2.8 ft swell at 9 s from the north-northwest: some surge on the bottom
- Fresh offshore wind (24 mph): it pushes surface swimmers away from shore
- 0.4 mph current toward the northeast, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 2:11 am (1:50–2:30 am), low tide 8:23 am (8:00–8:40 am), high tide 2:32 pm (2:10–2:50 pm) and low tide 8:41 pm (8:20–9:00 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 7.9 ft at 10 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 70.5 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:16 pm. Waning gibbous (92%), rising at 7:20 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 2:10 pm to 3:20 pm, combines slack water at high tide, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell and fresh wind. Also worth a look from 7:40 am to 9:00 am, 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 226,444 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:10–3:10 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:41–3:41 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:28–10:28 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:50–7:50 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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 1,250 ft 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.
