Where this tide comes from
Vila Franca do Campo has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Ponta Delgada (TICON-4), 13 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 Vila Franca do Campo
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.1 ft
- Significant6.3 ft
- Highest expectedHighest13 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 13 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 13 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Onshore wind. The coast faces south 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: 7.3 ft with a period of 7 s, from the southwest (moderate).
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 Vila Franca do Campo today
Surf today
Poor- 1.7–2.7 ft surf at the shore, a fun size for most surfers
- 2.8 ft swell at 8 s from the west, a bit short; it hits this coast at an angle
- 1.8 ft wind swell at 3 s: messy waves
- Moderate onshore wind (13 mph): a bit of chop
- Falling tide (low tide at 8:23 am)
- Light: First light 6:36 am · sunrise 7:03 am · sunset 5:48 pm · last light 6:15 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: 106 kJ · Medium power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 7:00 am to 8:00 am, has a good size, though with wind swell and onshore wind. 9:00 am to 1:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell, wind swell 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.

- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 6:15 pm. Waning gibbous (92%), rising at 7:19 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 7:30 am to 9:20 am, combines slack water at low tide and weak current, though with some swell and moderate wind. Also worth a look from 1:50 pm to 3:10 pm, with slack water at high tide and the sun high, though with waves, 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.

Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:08–3:08 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
