Where this tide comes from
Porto do Son has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 0.6 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 Porto do Son
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common3.5 ft
- Significant7.1 ft
- Highest expectedHighest14 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
The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.
Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southwest 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 ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 10 ft with a period of 12 s, from the west-northwest (rough).
Water temperature

Surf in Porto do Son today

- Big surf (8.9 ft): for experienced surfers
- 8.7 ft swell at 10 s from the west-northwest, average
- Almost no wind (4 mph): glassy water
- Rising tide (high tide at 5:12 pm)
Big surf: for experienced surfers only. If in doubt, stay on the beach.
- Light: First light 7:36 am · sunrise 8:05 am · sunset 6:34 pm · last light 7:03 pm
- Tide: high 4:47 am (5.4 ft), low 10:58 am (-5.4 ft), high 5:12 pm (5.0 ft) and low 11:17 pm (-4.9 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 57.7 °F: a 4/3 fullsuit (booties if you run cold).
- Energy: 1,451 kJ · High power
Today’s surf at a glance
The best window, 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm, has a good size and glassy water, though with big surf.
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 Porto do Son today
Diving and snorkeling today
Likely visibility: poor- Slack water around low tide (10:58 am): little current from 10:40 am to 11:20 am
- 8.9 ft swell at 11 s from the west-northwest: heavy surge on the bottom
- Almost no wind
- 0.1 mph current toward the west, weak (model)
- Sun high: more light underwater
Not a day for shore diving: swell, wind, current or storms during the best window. If you go, go with a dive shop and only if they give the OK.
- Slack water today: high tide 4:47 am (4:30–5:10 am), low tide 10:58 am (10:40–11:20 am), high tide 5:12 pm (4:50–5:30 pm) and low tide 11:17 pm (11:00–11:40 pm)
- Likely visibility: poor. Swell (up to 10 ft at 10 s) over the last few days has stirred up the water. Based on the last 24 hours of data.
- Water at 57.7 °F: a 7 mm wetsuit, with hood and booties.
- Snorkeling: better not, with these waves, wind or current.
- Night dive: dark from 7:03 pm. Waning gibbous (93%), rising at 7:51 pm: a bright night.
Your diving day at a glance
The best window, 10:20 am to 11:50 am, combines slack water at low tide, light wind, weak current and the sun high, though with a big swell. Also worth a look from 4:30 pm to 5:50 pm, with slack water at high tide, light wind and weak current, though with a big 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.
Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:59–3:59 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:31–4:31 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 10:36–11:36 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:21–8:21 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
Deepens quicklyThe bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 1,100 ft from shore.
From the shoreline (1,050 ft from Porto do Son) out to sea, heading southwest.

- 33 ft deep1,100 ft
- 66 ft deep0.6 mi
- 164 ft deepnot within 3.1 mi
For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 12 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 1,100 ft and 66 ft at 0.6 mi from shore.
