Dive today — wave, wind and visibility.

The verdict comes from seven water factors and hard safety gates — not ten tabs. Go or stay.
Our own model
Our own forecast engine — not a third-party widget. It weighs these water factors into one go-or-stay verdict for this coast; the 0–10 dial is that verdict, read out as a number.
Safety gates
It all folds into a single 0–10 score and one verdict: go or stay.
A forecast, not a guarantee — the sea has the last word.
Where to get in, where to hunt
Wind, wave and the swell windows — when to go and the best hours.

Visibility and what drives it — post-storm clearing, river plume, temperature and the thermocline.
spearo.app folds wind, wave, swell period, visibility, tides, water temperature and risk into a single verdict — go to the spot or not. It computes 7 days ahead from open marine models (Open-Meteo, IPMA), with no sign-up and no accounts. Built for solo spearfishing off the rocks, where any mistake costs dearly.
Now live: 3016 spots across 406 stretches of coast — mainland Portugal, Madeira and the Azores.

The models set the window. Whether you go in is read only at the water: count the sets, watch the surge on the entry. If in doubt, you don't get in.
Scouted entries, coloured by today. The colour is the sea state at the spot, not a guarantee: the wash and a slippery entry you judge on site.
Open the seafloor mapRocky shore below Anfeh village, entered off the rock terraces; the bottom is rock and seaweed with sandy underwater caves, and the water drops off quickly. The cove is sheltered from northerly wind, but there is no beach — pick an exit point before you go in.
Google MapsReef, canyon, wall and cave below the Ras Chekka headland at 15–30 m (about 18 m on average); reachable from the shore or by boat. Currents are mild, visibility about 10–25 m.
Google MapsSOLO is the biggest risk: underwater you can black out from lack of oxygen silently and fatally, with no one around. Solo is never truly «safe». Below are the best weather windows; carry a buoy, tell someone your plan and exit time, and any doubt — don't go.
Cameras, map and reference — to hand as you come up.
Spearfishing in Lebanon requires an annual Ministry of Agriculture licence and prior authorisation to fish with a speargun (Res. 1/126 of 2001). Night spearfishing, compressor use and taking lobster or sponge with a gun are prohibited; no fishing in Palm Islands reserve or at river mouths. Check current rules locally.
Anfeh has rock entry points such as Anfeh rocky shore (Taht el Rih) and Ras Chekka. A rocky peninsula north of Batroun with some of the clearest water on the Lebanese coast, facing west. Below you'll find each spot (access, shelter and hazards) and today's forecast.
May–November; from December to March winter storms and river runoff cloud the water.
