Where this tide comes from
Praia da Fajã has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Horta (TICON-4), 9.0 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 sea at Praia da Fajã
Sea stateSea state: rough
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common5.4 ft
- Significant11 ft
- Highest expectedHighest22 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 22 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 22 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Onshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind blows straight in from the sea: more surf and backwash at the shore, and bait and boats drift toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 11 ft with a period of 9 s, from the west-northwest (rough).
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 Praia da Fajã today
Surf today
Poor- 5.7–8.8 ft surf at the shore, big
- Big surf (8.8 ft): for experienced surfers
- 7.3 ft swell at 9 s from the west-northwest, a bit short
- Moderate onshore wind (17 mph): choppy, blown-out waves
- Falling tide (low tide at 9:03 am)
Big surf: for experienced surfers only. If in doubt, stay on the beach.
- Light: First light 6:51 am · sunrise 7:18 am · sunset 5:58 pm · last light 6:26 pm
- Tide: high 2:54 am (4.7 ft), low 9:03 am (1.1 ft), high 3:14 pm (4.4 ft) and low 9:20 pm (1.1 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 70.0 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 830 kJ · High power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 10:00 am, has a good size, though with big surf and onshore wind. 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with big surf and onshore wind.
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 da Fajã today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (9:03 am): little current from 8:40 am to 9:30 am
- 8.1 ft swell at 9 s from the west-northwest: heavy surge on the bottom
- Moderate onshore wind (18 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the east, weak (model)
- Daylight
Not a day for shore diving: swell, wind, current or storms during the best window. If you go, go with a dive shop and only if they give the OK.
- Slack water today: high tide 2:54 am (2:30–3:10 am), low tide 9:03 am (8:40–9:30 am), high tide 3:14 pm (2:50–3:40 pm) and low tide 9:20 pm (8:50–9:50 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 9.6 ft at 8 s) and rain (0.67 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 70.0 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:26 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 8:31 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 8:00 am to 9:30 am, combines slack water at low tide and weak current, though with a big swell and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 1:50 pm to 3:40 pm, with slack water at high tide and the sun high, though with a big 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 226,666 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:25–4:25 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 10:54–11:54 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:01–9:01 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 1,300 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. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.35 mi and 66 ft at 0.55 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).
