Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.
Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)

Where this tide comes from
Nordeste has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Ponta Delgada (TICON-4), 29 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

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
Offshore wind. The coast faces northeast and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Waves build over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Saturday 31: 13 ft with a period of 9 s, from the north-northeast (rough).
Water temperature

Surf in Nordeste today
Surf today
Poor- 1.8–2.8 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 3.2 ft swell at 9 s from the northwest, a bit short; it hits this coast at an angle
- Light cross-shore wind (8 mph): a bit of chop
- Rising tide (low tide at 9:28 pm)
- Light: First light 6:36 am · sunrise 7:03 am · sunset 5:45 pm · last light 6:12 pm
- Tide: high 2:56 am (5.5 ft), low 9:12 am (1.1 ft), high 3:21 pm (5.1 ft) and low 9:28 pm (1.3 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 70.2 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 165 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window is 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm.
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 Nordeste today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (9:12 am): little current from 8:50 am to 9:40 am
- 3.1 ft swell at 7 s from the south-southwest: some surge on the bottom
- Almost no wind
- 0.5 mph current toward the south-southwest, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
- Slack water today: high tide 2:56 am (2:30–3:20 am), low tide 9:12 am (8:50–9:40 am), high tide 3:21 pm (3:00–3:40 pm) and low tide 9:28 pm (9:00–10:00 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 7.5 ft at 10 s) and rain (2.06 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 70.2 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:12 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 8:19 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 9:20 am to 10:10 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 2:20 pm to 4:10 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind and the sun high, though with some swell 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,666 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:10–4:10 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:43–4:43 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:36–11:36 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:49–8:49 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 0.35 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).
