What causes High Tide and Low Tide?
In a nutshell, they're primarily caused by the moon's gravitational pull upon the Earth (and a little bit by the sun too). The 24h earth rotation around the sun explains the first high tide each day, but...
Why are there Two Tides each day?
The ocean also bulges out on the side of Earth opposite to the moon.
Why do we have the Moon Cycle of 28 days?
This is due to the ecliptic relative move of the planets, hence the variation of the tides amplitude.
Frequently asked
What is the best tide for tours in João Pessoa?
The ideal tide for natural pools and beach tours (such as South Coast 3 and Pipa) is between 0.0 and 0.4 meters. The closer to 0.0, the clearer and shallower the water will be.
What time is low tide in João Pessoa?
Low tide doesn't have a set time. It gets delayed by about 30 to 50 minutes every day because of the lunar cycle. That's why checking the schedule for the exact day of the trip is a must.
How far in advance should I book based on the tide?
We highly recommend booking weeks in advance. Perfect low tide occurs only a few days a month. Leaving it to the last minute means you might miss out on both available spots and the best tide dates.
Can I drive a regular car on the beaches during low tide?
It is not recommended. Many exclusive routes on the South Coast have soft sand and cliff areas where standard cars easily get stuck. For safety and peace of mind, these routes should only be done in a certified 4x4 SUV.
What happens if the tide rises during the tour?
The tide rises fast and can block beach paths or cover natural pools. Our VIP 4x4 itineraries are meticulously planned minute-by-minute to ensure you enjoy each stop safely before the tide comes back up.
