Where this tide comes from
Praia do Castelo has no station of its own, so we use the tide at Lagos (TICON-4), 20 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 do Castelo
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.1 ft
- Significant2.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.3 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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.2 ft with a period of 6 s, from the southeast (slight).
Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 3.1 °F more 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.
Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water warms over the next few days: about 65.0 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water colder than normal for late October (−2.5 °F).

Poor- 1.2–1.8 ft surf at the shore, small: good for learning or a longboard
- 2.0 ft swell at 9 s from the west, a bit short; it hits this coast at an angle

- First or last light of the day
- Falling tide (low tide at 9:56 am)
- Light: First light 6:28 am · sunrise 6:54 am · sunset 5:39 pm · last light 6:06 pm
- Tide: high 3:48 am (11.3 ft), low 9:56 am (1.9 ft), high 4:16 pm (10.6 ft) and low 10:13 pm (2.6 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.

- Energy: 61 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 6:28 am to 10:00 am, has glassy water.
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.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,641 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:00–4:00 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:32–4:32 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:23–11:23 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:41–8:41 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.
