Tides table João Pessoa

Some tours need the tide to be low. Other tours, even possible at high tide, are best at low tide.

The tide is considered low if: a) the minimum level is <= 0.6; b) minimum time is between 9:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.

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...

The ocean also bulges out on the side of Earth opposite to the moon.

This is due to the ecliptic relative move of the planets, hence the variation of the tides amplitude.
