Four different checks
Weather forecast
Check rain, temperature, wind and thunderstorms for the time of your activity.
Tide table
Water levels and currents may affect access, fishing spots and navigation.
Maritime warnings
Rough seas and strong winds matter even when there is no rain in town.
Bathing-water quality
An open beach may still be unsuitable for swimming. Check the IMA-SC report.
São Francisco do Sul Port is the regional reference
The Brazilian Navy publishes a tide table for São Francisco do Sul Port. Local differences may occur, so follow the skipper's assessment for boat tours and fishing trips.
Good weather does not always mean safe water
Wind, waves, currents, visibility and maritime warnings must be considered together. Confirm conditions again shortly before departure.
