A larger coefficient means a wider gap between high and low water, so the strongest currents run along the sea bed. Tidal range also shifts with the weather — check the wind and swell before you head out.

Solunar
Feeding windows from the moon's transit, rise and set — the free solunar rating for Maracanã.
Best fishing times today
Solunar theory rates today a slow day for fishing at Maracanã — plan around the major and minor periods below.
03:56 – 05:56
Moon overhead (lunar transit)
Overlaps sunrise or sunset10:37 – 11:37
Moonset
16:26 – 18:26
Moon underfoot (opposing transit)
Overlaps sunrise or sunset23:14 – 00:14
Moonrise
Major periods track the moon's transit and opposing transit and run about two hours; minor periods open at moonrise and moonset and last about an hour. When a period lands on sunrise or sunset, activity climbs higher still — and that overlap happens today.

Bite windows
Thursday 3 SeptemberFish feed hardest when the water starts moving — plan around the hour before and after each tide turn, and doubly so where a turn meets a solunar major period.
05:50 – 07:50
Tide turn overlaps a major solunar period — the best bite of the day.
10:40 – 12:40
Water peaks at 11:40 then starts to fall.
18:10 – 20:10
Tide turn overlaps a major solunar period — the best bite of the day.

Biggest tides: 9–12 Sep (coef 104) · Quietest stretch: 18–19 Sep (coef 20) · Morning 49 · afternoon 41. Predicted levels run between -4.5 m and 5.7 m this month.
Heights are metres above the station's chart datum, so the biggest tides can dip just below zero. Every time shown is Maracanã local time, with daylight saving already applied.

Frequently asked questions
Tides, coefficients and fishing times for Maracanã, explained.
What time is high tide in Maracanã today?
High water at Maracanã today is at 11:40 and 23:50. The full list of high and low tide times is in the table above and refreshes every day.
Is today a good day to fish in Maracanã?
Based on solunar theory the fishing rating today is Slow. The strongest windows are the major periods around the lunar transit, which often line up with sunrise and sunset.
What is the tidal coefficient and why does it matter?
The coefficient runs from 0 to 120 and measures the tidal range — today it is 41 (Low). Higher numbers mean stronger currents and a bigger gap between high and low water, which matters for fishing, diving and boating.
When are sunrise and sunset in Maracanã today?
The sun rises at 06:06 and sets at 18:11 local time, giving 12h 06m of daylight.
How big are the waves in Maracanã today?
The significant wave height at Maracanã is currently 0.5 m with a period of 3.9 s between crests. Individual sets can stack up to roughly twice that height, so allow a margin at exposed marks and anchorages.
