How to Read the Tide Tables

Each day shows the time and height of each tide, in meters. The symbol ▲ marks a high tide and ▼ a low tide. The lower the height of a low tide, the more reef appears.

Generally, there are two high tides and two low tides per day. On some days there are only three, because the fourth tide occurs the following day. In January 2027, this will happen on the 2nd, 12th, 18th, 25th, and 31st.

The times advance, on average, about 50 minutes per day, so always check the correct date. During the weeks of the new moon and full moon, the difference between the tides tends to be greater. Watch the explanatory video about the influence of the moon on the tides.

Natural Pool Days in January 2027

Here, we call a "natural pool day" the day when the low tide reaches 0,5 m or less between 7 am and 17 pm. On these days, the reefs are exposed and pools form. In January 2027, there will be 13 days, in two periods.

From January 6th to 11th (Wednesday to Monday), the low tide of the day will be between 0,42 m and 0,49 m, occurring between 8:50 am and 11:27 am.

From January 20th to 26th (Wednesday to Tuesday), the daytime low tide will be between 0,21 m and 0,42 m, occurring between 8:00 AM and 12:17 PM. The lowest tide of the month during daylight hours is on Saturday, January 23rd: 0,21 m at 10:16 AM, when the reef is most visible.

The weekends of January 9th and 10th, and January 23rd and 24th, fall on pool days. The rule only considers low tides between 7 am and 17 pm, so night tides don't count.

How to Enjoy the Natural Pools and the Island Tour

If you're going on the Island Tour, check the low tide in the morning: the tour usually passes by the natural pools early in the day.

If you're going to any beach looking for a natural pool, low tide is worthwhile at any time between 7 am and 17 pm, not just in the morning.

Attention: if low tide is around 17 PM, there will be little daylight left to enjoy the pool. And, most importantly, returning to the sand in low light is dangerous: the risk of falling is high. Prefer low tides earlier in the day. In January, no pool day has low tide around 17 PM: all tides occur between 8 AM and 12:17 PM.
