Where this tide comes from
Nova Estrela has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.3 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.
Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.
The sea at Nova Estrela
Sea stateSea state: slight
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common1.0 ft
- Significant2.0 ft
- Highest expectedHighest4.1 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 4.1 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 4.1 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Friday 30: 2.3 ft with a period of 7 s, from the south (slight).
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 Nova Estrela today
Surf today
Poor- Barely any waves (1.2 ft sets): flat

- Falling tide (low tide at 11:25 am)
- Light: First light 4:51 am · sunrise 5:12 am · sunset 5:16 pm · last light 5:37 pm
- Tide: high 5:07 am (2.5 ft), low 11:25 am (-2.8 ft), high 5:56 pm (2.0 ft) and low 11:39 pm (-1.9 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 83.5 °F–84.4 °F: boardshorts or a swimsuit and a rash guard.
- Energy: 9 kJ · Low power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 5:00 am to 9:00 am, has light offshore wind, though with barely any waves.
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.

Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 4:50 am to 6:00 am, combines slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak current. Also good from 4:10 pm to 5:40 pm, with slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak 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 226,641 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 12:54–2:54 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:27–3:27 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 7:43–8:43 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:10–9:10 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.

Water depth
Drops off fastThe bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 10 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 70 ft.
From the shoreline (0.6 mi from Nova Estrela) out to sea, heading east.
How far from shore
- 16 ft deep10 ft
- 33 ft deep10 ft
- 66 ft deep30 ft
- 164 ft deep70 ft
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 435 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The bottom drops quickly near the shore and you are soon out of your depth. Keep an eye on kids and weak swimmers.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 10 ft and 66 ft at 30 ft from shore.
Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
Source: NOAA ETOPO 2022 (CC0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth below mean sea level. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
