Where this tide comes from
Praia Vinha D'Areia 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 waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.4 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
Offshore wind. The coast faces south and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 6.9 ft with a period of 7 s, from the southwest (moderate).

Surf in Praia Vinha D'Areia today
Surf today
Good- 2.6–4.0 ft surf at the shore, a good size with some punch
- 4.7 ft swell at 8 s from the west, a bit short
- Light offshore wind (12 mph): it holds up and grooms the waves
- Rising tide (low tide at 9:28 pm)
- Light: First light 6:37 am · sunrise 7:04 am · sunset 5:47 pm · last light 6:14 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 70.3 °F: a springsuit or a 2 mm fullsuit.
- Energy: 260 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, has a good size and light offshore 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 Vinha D'Areia today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around high tide (3:21 pm): little current from 3:00 pm to 3:40 pm
- 4.7 ft swell at 8 s from the west: strong surge on the bottom
- Light offshore wind (12 mph)
- 0.2 mph current toward the south-southeast, 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 4.2 ft at 9 s) and rain (1.71 in) over the last few days have stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 70.3 °F: a 5 mm wetsuit.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:14 pm. Waning gibbous (85%), rising at 8:21 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 2:20 pm to 3:30 pm, combines slack water at high tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with some swell. Also worth a look from 8:30 am to 10:10 am, with slack water at low tide, light wind and weak current, though with some 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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,666 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:11–4:11 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:44–4:44 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:37–11:37 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:51–8:51 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.
