The tides are frequent changes in the height of the sea surface, at a certain point, originated from the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun, combined with the movement of the earth. Its effects are more pronounced in coastal and shallow areas, where it undergoes amplification processes, reaching up to 15 meters between high tide and low in specific locations. The phenomenon of tides acts directly on different physical and biological coastal processes, and also in man-made aspects, such as the occupation of the coastal zone, navigation and use of beaches for tourism. Thus, tidal forecast is important both aspects of ecosystem, as socioeconomic. The aim of this study was to develop an online public consultation tool, with tabular and graphical representation of weather tides at specific points along the Brazilian coast, for the scientific, academic community, browsers, surfers and the general population; in order to disclose the name and UNESP activities related to Marine Sciences From the identification of some points of interest were collected constant harmonic tide tables provided by FEMAR (Sea Research Foundation). These harmonic constants were deployed on XTide software (version 2.13.2-4.fc20), installed on a Linux server. The implementation of this software enabled processing, visualization and presentation of results, which are accessible through a Web server located on the site of the Coastal Campus of São Vicente.
