Where this tide comes from
Praia do Pozo has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.5 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 Praia do Pozo
Sea stateSea state: moderate
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common2.1 ft
- Significant4.2 ft
- Highest expectedHighest8.3 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 8.3 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 8.3 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
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.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves ease over the next few days. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 6.7 ft with a period of 12 s, from the west (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.

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.

For fishing, swimming and diving
- Shore fishing. Deep water close in: about 8.2 ft just 330 ft out. Good for casting from rocks, jetties or the beach itself; current and surf hit harder here.
- Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
- Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.25 mi and 66 ft at 0.75 mi from shore.
Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide.
