Tide Tables

Jokes aside, it is good to know about the tide to take better advantage of the beauties of Pipa. Well, to walk between the beaches (Madeiro, Delfines, Centro, Amor y Minas) one must choose the times of half tide, that is, 3 hours before the maximum and minimum.

Mainly the Dolphin Beach, where access is only walking through Madeiro Beach or Praia do Centro. Unless it’s dead tide and still with the landed way, in this case you can walk quietly at any time. Then you ask, But what is this?

There is a variation between the maximum (high tide) and minimum (low tide) that occurs every six hours (approximately) throughout the day and that every day changes the time.

Also consider the lunar variant, which lead to more extreme peaks (full and new moon) or the so-called dead tide, where you can barely notice such a variant.

With this movement of the tides, coupled with the geographical formation of the coves and stones, a great difference takes place in the natural landscape throughout the year.

We call ground or sand movements, which can vary in the volume of sand on the beaches at about three meters higher (landed) or less (uncovered).

It is clear the dance that the beaches dance hiding or emerging huge stones.
