Tide coefficient 100 for the 4:20 am high tide and 97 for the 4:59 pm high tide. Big spring tides. The water rises and falls 5.7 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on March 20 (6.9 ft) and the lowest, on July 15 (0.2 ft).

Semidiurnal: two high and two low tides a day, of similar height.

Heights above chart datum: the lowest astronomical tide (LAT), the zero of nautical charts in Europe. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. chart datum (LAT)

Where this tide comes from

B · Nearby station

Neves has no station of its own, so we use the tide at São Tomé (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.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Neves

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · light air, Beaufort 1
Waves 1.8 ft · 8.4 s from the southwest (225°)
Swell 1.5 ft · 7.3 s from the south-southwest
Current 0.6 mph toward the SSW

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.9 ft
  • Significant1.8 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest3.7 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 3.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 3.7 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 2 mph SE · gusts 10
Offshore (10 mi NNW)Offshore 3 mph SSE · gusts 9

Offshore wind. The coast faces northwest 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 Wednesday 28: 2.3 ft with a period of 9 s, from the southwest (slight).

Water now84.4 °F
Today 83.8–84.7 °F air: 77 / 84 °F
Satellite (yesterday) 81.5 °F measured 0.7 mi away

The satellite measured 2.9 °F less yesterday than the model gives now: the water is probably colder than the forecast says.

Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 83.4 °F by Tuesday 3.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.6 °F).

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 5:00 am to 9:00 am, has glassy water, though with small waves and a short-period swell.

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, 9:50 am to 11:30 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

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.

  • 7:12–8:12 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 fast

The bottom drops off fast: the water is 33 ft deep just 170 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 550 ft.

From the shoreline (0.3 mi from Neves) out to sea, heading northwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep90 ft
  • 33 ft deep170 ft
  • 66 ft deep260 ft
  • 164 ft deep550 ft

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 92 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 170 ft and 66 ft at 260 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).
