Tide Table Madeira — 2026

📘 About Madeira Tide Forecast

In the southern hemisphere, the coastal area of Madeira (Brazil) is positioned at coordinates -2.56° S and 44.38° W. Its tidal pattern is semi-diurnal (two high and two low tides per day), with a mean tidal range of 4.1m and spring tides reaching up to 4.9m. With tides above 3 metres, ebb current speeds can exceed 2 knots in narrow channels, requiring extra caution from mariners. The semi-diurnal cycle flushes coves frequently, shortening water residence time and maintaining high oxygenation levels. Waters along this coast are influenced by events such as El Niño, which can temporarily raise mean sea level. The 2026 tidal schedule for Madeira provides a full-year calendar of high and low waters alongside predicted sea levels. In September, Madeira is in its spring season, a key period for water sports, fishing, diving, and coastal navigation. Predictive output is continuously benchmarked against time series recorded by regional coastal reference stations.
