Major Periods (2h)
Minor Periods (1h)
Based on the Solunar Theory (John Alden Knight): fish and wildlife tend to feed more during the periods when the moon is overhead or underfoot (major) and at moonrise/moonset (minor). The score considers the lunar phase and the crossing of major periods with the local high tide.

📘 About Funchal (Madeira) Tide Forecast
Found at 32.65° N latitude and 16.92° W longitude, Funchal (Madeira) serves as a prominent coastal location in Portugal. Its tidal pattern is semi-diurnal (two high and two low tides per day), with a mean tidal range of 1.2m and spring tides reaching up to 1.9m. Oyster and shellfish farmers exploit the 0.5–1.5m range to alternate aerial exposure and submersion in their culture beds. The semi-diurnal cycle flushes coves frequently, shortening water residence time and maintaining high oxygenation levels. Data from this station feeds into the global sea-level monitoring network, contributing to long-term change research. The 2026 tidal bulletin for Funchal (Madeira) delivers a thorough schedule of sea level swings with hourly marks for the entire year. In October, Funchal (Madeira) is in its autumn season, a key period for water sports, fishing, diving, and coastal navigation. All tide predictions are computed from harmonic constants validated for this coastal station, with accuracy within ±15 minutes for most conditions.
