Today — right on the edge — 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: 1391 spots across 205 stretches of coast — mainland Portugal, Madeira and the Azores.
See all spotsRelief and bottom type, tides, and the depths of each spot.
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 in the appCape to the south, rock and posidonia 13–26 m, shore; sea bream and dentex. Strong current. Grouper and brown meagre are under moratorium — observe only. ⚠️ Bouches de Bonifacio nature reserve: an annual declaration to the OEC (2026 campaign) is COMPULSORY before you hunt, on top of the reserve's gear and catch limits.

Open in the appSOLO 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.
Check the cam BEFORE you leave. Foam, brown/green murk, or waves washing the entry rocks = No-go. At night/in fog the cam is useless — treat it as «unknown», NOT «green».
Bonifacio has rock entry points such as Golfe de Santa Amanza / Maora, Nord de Sant'Amanza and Capo Pertusato. Corsica's far south, dominated by limestone cliffs and its strait — but spearfishing is tightly framed here. Below you'll find each spot (access, shelter and hazards) and today's forecast.
Long season (May–October). Corsica: crystal water, rock and cliffs. Mind the marine reserves (cantonnements de pêche) — spearfishing is banned inside them; check the zone limits. The wind (libeccio) shuts the west coast.
Mediterranean, France's clearest: ~13 °C in winter, ~25 °C in summer. 3–5 mm in summer. Rock and cliffs, excellent visibility. Mind the reserves — spearfishing is banned inside them.
Moderate: crystal water and rock, but many reserves (cantonnements) where spearfishing is banned, plus a nasty west wind (libeccio). Check the zone limits before you dive.
No paid licence in Bonifacio — but third-party (RC) insurance is MANDATORY, and since 10/01/2026 a free EU registration + catch declaration (RECFishing app) applies from age 16. Breath-hold only (no scuba), buoy mandatory, no night; sizes by coast (bar 42 Atl. / 30 Med.), grouper and corb banned in the Med. See the guide.
SpainRules change. Exact distances from beaches/ports and seasonal closures are set by the local préfecture maritime — check its arrêté and the DIRM/OFB zone map before heading out.
