Tide chart: when to go for the best experience in the natural pools.
Why does the tide matter so much?
The natural pools are formed by a coral reef that retains seawater during low tide. At high tide, the reefs are submerged and the pools simply disappear below sea level. The catamaran trip to the pools only takes place when the tide is low enough for the experience to be possible.
What is a tide table?
The tide table indicates sea levels throughout the day, measured in meters. For the natural pools of Paripueira, the ideal time is when the tide is below 0.3m. There are usually two low tide periods per day, one in the early morning and another in the late afternoon, but the timing varies each day and month.
How to consult the tide table
Hibiscus Mar & Cia provides a monthly updated tide chart on Instagram and its website: reservas.mareciabeachbar.com.br/tabua-da-mare. Check it before confirming your dates to see the best time for your visit in July.
Practical planning tip
Arrive at Hibiscus Mar & Cia at least 1 hour before the ideal low tide. This way you can check in calmly, find your spot on the beach, have your first drink, and board when the moment is perfect.
What if the tide is high on the day of my visit?
No problem, Hibiscus Mar & Cia has a complete beach club structure independent of the pools. The food, the beach, the sports, and the Jeep tour to Carro Quebrado Beach operate regardless of tide conditions. And if the pools are your priority, reschedule for a date with a favorable low tide.
