How we calculate the tide

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

We calculate the tide with the FES2022 model, calibrated for each place to a reference station from the FEMAR catalog. Where we can, we compare the curve with the Brazilian Navy's tide tables. On rivers and inland, the curve shows the coastal tide, not the water level there.

Strong, moderate or weak: the word compares the day's range with this place's usual range, not with other places.

Kitesurf spot · the wind rules
