What to know before you go

Practical intel

Accessible only by buggy or on foot along the beach. Book accommodation in advance — options are few and fill up fast in high season. There are no formal restaurants: most guesthouses include meals. Bring sunscreen and insect repellent — there is no pharmacy.

About Barrinha

Barrinha is the exclusive retreat hidden between Jeri and Guriú — a sand spit where absolute silence and untouched coconut groves create the most private experience on the entire Rota das Emoções. Here luxury is the absence of everything except natural beauty.

Tide advice · BARRINHA

Turquoise lagoon — freshwater, not tide dependent. Beach access may depend on tides.

Moon influence and forecast source

Spring Tide — Expect more extreme tides. Great for filling lagoons, be cautious at beaches.

Heights in meters above chart datum. “Mean level” is the average of this day’s extreme heights; it does not indicate depth.

We calculate tides using FES2022 harmonics and calibration data from FEMAR reference stations. Heights use the model’s reference-station baseline, not measurements at each village. For rivers and inland locations, the curve is a coastal tide reference; it does not predict local water levels.

About the visualization and the motion

Motion starts on its own when the visualization is in view.

SpeedThe flow speeds up with the wind speed at the selected hour. At zero wind it stops.

DirectionThe dot on the compass marks where the wind comes from. The lines travel the opposite way.

GustsThe ring shows the difference between wind speed and gust speed. Without valid gust data it disappears.

An illustration only — it does not simulate how often gusts arrive. The summary and the reading use the whole period shown in the chart.
