Is spearfishing banned in the Tavolara–Punta Coda Cavallo MPA?

Yes for practical planning. Do not treat the MPA as a spearfishing area; the listed city marks sit outside its core.

What fish can you spearfish in Golfo Aranci?

Dentex, amberjack, sea bream, seabass and octopus are listed. Dusky grouper is fully banned in Sardinia.

Do you need a license to spearfish in Italy?

No paid licence is required, but the free MASAF SIAN/SPID sea-fishing declaration is mandatory and is not a licence.

Is scuba spearfishing allowed in Italy?

No. Italian recreational spearfishing is free-diving only, and the speargun may not be handed to anyone under 16.

How far from the beach can you spearfish in Italy?

Keep at least 500 m from beaches with bathers, plus 100 m from fixed gear, nets and anchored vessels outside ports.

How many grouper can you take per day in Italy?

In Sardinia, none. The national one-grouper wording is overridden by the Sardinian total cernia ban.

The verdict comes from seven water factors and hard safety gates — not ten tabs. Go or stay.

How we score the water

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.

Swell & wave memory: Height, period and direction of the swell, plus the wake of recent storms — an old storm still stirs the water, and the engine remembers.
Wind & gusts: Speed and gusts, hour by hour — wind speed and an onshore push chop the surface and cut visibility.
Tide phase: Timing and range of the tide, calibrated per coast — big spring tides pull the verdict toward caution.
Water temperature: Sea-surface temperature — sharply cold water vetoes a green verdict.
Currents & outflow: Direction and drift of the current — it pushes you, and it drags turbid coastal water across where you dive.
Rain runoff & air clarity: Rain muddies the water inshore through land runoff, while fog and haze cut visibility at the surface.
Coast shape & exposure: How the coast faces the swell — a sheltered cove keeps the water clean; an exposed, head-on point takes a penalty.

Safety gates

Thunderstorm forecast — an instant red, no exceptions.
An official warning (MeteoAlarm / IPMA) — yellow, or red for the higher ranks.
Missing input data — a would-be green is capped to yellow rather than overstated.
Strong disagreement between forecast models — a green day is pulled back to yellow.
Night hours — where night spearfishing is banned by law the window is forced red; where it is legal (Australia outside NSW, New Zealand, South Africa) it is capped at yellow, never green.

It all folds into a single 0–10 score and one verdict: go or stay.

Cala GrecaGolfo Aranci

borderline

exposed head-on to the swell today (city-level)

window: DPR 1639/1968 dates from 1968 and is still the reference text: it is not a historical detail. Between the shore and five metres of water there are 120 m: that is the stretch you want to cover in good light. In doubt, ask the local Capitaneria beforehand and not afterwards. At Golfo Aranci a short legal window beats a long questionable one.
tide: At Golfo Aranci the tidal cycle shows in the thread of current and not in the level of the water. The tide is felt more in narrow channels than in front of an open shore. If the current is faster than your easy pace, it is already too much. The direction of the current changes with the wind of the last few hours.
shelter: The coast here runs NE–SW and opens to the northwest: that is what decides which forecast to read. The bay works like a funnel: with the swell in the mouth the water inside dirties, and it stays dirty after the wind has dropped. Before getting in, look at where you will come out if the wind turns: the exit is not always the entry. At Golfo Aranci the swell forecast matters more than the wind forecast on this stretch.
conditions: If you cannot see the bottom 120 m out, the day is over before it starts. With 20 m at 380 m from the entry you go from inshore water to outside water without any real transit. In Maestrale the suspension stays inshore; in Scirocco it is gone in half a day. At Golfo Aranci the good days are few and have to be taken when they come.
hazard: The mouth of the bay is where the swell concentrates and where getting back becomes difficult. The marker has to follow you even when you are working 150 m from the shore: 50 m from the vertical below it is the legal maximum. If you feel out of place, you are out of place: come out. If you are alone, halve everything: depth, times and distance from shore.
access: The mark sits about 10 m from the coastline: the useful water starts practically under the shore. In a cove you normally get in off the low shore at the head of the bay, where the water is calmer. Park where it is allowed: a towed car ruins more than the day. At Golfo Aranci many accesses cross private property: if it is signed, look for another one.

Cala MorescaGolfo Aranci

exposed head-on to the swell today (city-level)

window: The recreational fishing declaration to MASAF has to be made before you go down, and it is renewed every year. On a shore oriented at 225° the usable light ends before the legal hour, which stays the hour of the sun. At Golfo Aranci the season conditions the law more than it conditions the sea. With Libeccio forecast to strengthen it pays to go earlier rather than to stay longer.
tide: The typical range on this stretch is between twenty and forty centimetres: it opens no passages and closes none. Between the shore and five metres of water there are 80 m, and no tide shifts that line appreciably. At Golfo Aranci the tide calendar is no substitute for reading the sea. In a hard Libeccio the water piles up inshore and drains away sideways.
shelter: In a bay like this the shelter is a few tens of metres wide, tucked against the windward point rather than in the middle of the arc, and in a hard Libeccio not even that. With an exposure of 225° the awkward sector runs from south to west, and outside it the day is usually saved. At Golfo Aranci the difference between a bad day and a good one is a hundred metres of coast, not an hour of waiting. If the sea builds while you are in, come out earlier than feels necessary.
conditions: On a medium slope the murky inshore strip usually ends well before 860 m. The ground in front of the entry decides most of it: the sooner it drops, the sooner you are out of the dirty water. Past 250 m from the shore it is the water that decides the day and not the willingness. After three calm days the water at Golfo Aranci is a different water.
hazard: On the shoreline at Golfo Aranci the same national rules apply without discounts: breath-hold, daylight, marker in sight. In a cove the risk is the false calm: from inside you cannot see that the sea outside has built. With Libeccio strengthening the margin is spent without your noticing. Cramp comes at the worst moment: come out before you need to.
access: From here to the 5 m contour is about 80 m, and it pays to measure them on the way out so as not to find them long on the way back. In the bay you pick the sheltered side to get in and the same side to get out. If you do not fancy swimming the 250 m back from ten metres of water, do not go any further out. Fix a landmark ashore in your head: from out there the coast changes face.

Cala SassariGolfo Aranci

borderline

exposed head-on to the swell today (city-level)

window: At Golfo Aranci the bathing season changes the usable distances far more than the sea ever does. Before the timing comes the compulsory declaration to MASAF: it is free, but without it you are not in order. Note the hour you will come out before you get in: from 100 m of shore the way back always looks shorter than it is. A shore oriented at 126° loses the sun before sunset: take it into account for the last descent.
tide: The only range you notice is the one the wind pushes, not the astronomical one. Even at springs the band out to five metres stays 120 m wide: the level does not change the route. A surge pushed by Scirocco can raise the level more than the tide itself. If the current takes you past the 500 m of the ten-metre line, head straight back for land.
shelter: The head of the cove is the most protected part and the murkiest one at the same time, and you almost always choose between the two. The exposure measured on the coastline is 126°, that is full southeast: in Scirocco there is no shelter here, in Maestrale the water flattens. Dead swell from the southeast arrives under a clear sky and no wind at all. At Golfo Aranci the old rule holds: watch the sea for ten minutes, then decide.
conditions: The slope is regular: ten metres about 500 m out, twenty at 1100 m. At Golfo Aranci the clarity is built on the days without swell, not on the hours without wind. Better two hours in the right water than six in the wrong one. In the coastal band the clarity changes hour by hour with whatever wind is pushing.
hazard: Five hundred metres from used beaches: in summer it is the prohibition you run into most often. In an inlet the murky water hides the bottom and whatever has ended up on it. With 120 m out to five metres, the exit is short only if you decide on it in time. At Golfo Aranci floating lines are seen late: keep an eye above you as well.
access: Access in a cove is easy; coming back along the coast rather less so. With 100 m from the shore it pays to set off from the nearest point of the coast. Better a hundred metres more on foot than the wrong entry. At Golfo Aranci the best place is the one you can leave without hurrying.

Capo Figari (fianco N)Golfo Aranci

borderline

exposed head-on to the swell today (city-level)

window: Sixteen years of age is the legal minimum for handling a speargun in the water. Sardinia and Sicily are autonomous regions and can have rules of their own on top. With the 300 m that separate you from five metres of water, the return in daylight is planned from the start. At Golfo Aranci it is better to know the prohibition than to discover it from a fine.
tide: High water pushed by Tramontana counts for more than a spring tide. If anything changes the level at Golfo Aranci, it is pressure and wind, not the moon. The way back, 300 m to the five-metre band, is decided beforehand and not on the way. With the water down on a wind surge the entry rocks get more slippery, not more comfortable.
shelter: Gusts from the south ruffle the surface but raise no swell: it is the fetch towards the north that counts. There is no general shelter here: there is a flank that holds in Tramontana and one that does not, and they swap as the sea turns. If the swell starts working inside the 300 m of coastal strip, the session is over. When the swell gets in, the whole coastal strip, 300 m wide here, lifts and the clarity goes.
conditions: The steepness of the ground, twenty metres at 240 m, is what makes this entry usable even with little time. With 75 m reached about 1700 m out, the limit of the day is set by your breath and not by the distance. At Golfo Aranci it pays to come out feeling you stopped early. By 140 m from the shore you already know whether it is worth going on.
hazard: The swell rebounding off the wall of the cape makes confused water exactly where you get out. A hundred metres from fixed installations and from vessels at anchor is an obligation, not a courtesy. The way back from 140 m out is longer than it looks once you are tired. Check your gear beforehand, not in the water.
access: On the cape an entry that is comfortable in a flat sea may not exist at all in half a metre of swell. With the shore 30 m away and five metres of water at 300 m, the band to cross is a short one. At Golfo Aranci the return is planned on the afternoon swell, not on the morning one. With Tramontana strengthening the exit is brought forward, not discussed.

Isola di FigaroloGolfo Aranci

borderline

exposed head-on to the swell today (city-level)

window: With ten metres of water 390 m from the shore, the band where you meet the local orders is all of it right here. National law sets the perimeter; the local Capitaneria orders can tighten it. The last stretch, the 390 m out to ten metres of water, is the one you will swim tired: put it in the day's arithmetic. At Golfo Aranci in summer the bathing strip changes the usable distances completely.
tide: Tide tables here explain a local current more often than they choose an hour. The regime is microtidal: the level at Golfo Aranci moves less than half a metre even at springs. The ten-metre line, 390 m offshore, does not move with the level: it moves with the swell. Water pushing you towards the north, that is towards the open sea, is the signal to come out.
shelter: A shoal works the opposite way round from the coast: it shelters underwater and not on the surface, and nothing stops what passes over the top. In Maestrale or Grecale the swell arrives across and you can still work by staying tight to the rock. If you get in as Tramontana is easing, remember the sea stays up a day longer than the wind. At Golfo Aranci whoever gets in first checks, whoever gets in out of habit is trusting yesterday.
conditions: The step is short: 390 m for ten metres, 180 m for twenty, and from there the bottom keeps going. The 10 m contour runs about 390 m from the shore and is the practical reference for this entry. On breath-hold the clarity is safety too, not just results. At Golfo Aranci the inshore current shifts the murk within hours: waiting sometimes works better than moving.
hazard: At Golfo Aranci, as along the whole Italian coast, the surface marker and the 50 m radius are not negotiable. Over the cap of a shoal the water stands up and the ascent can put you in the middle of a breaker. Tell somebody ashore where you are getting in and when you expect to be out. With Tramontana building, the window shuts sooner than the forecast says.
access: The mark is right against the shore, 10 m from the coastline, and ten metres of water is about 390 m out. In Tramontana the crossing out to the shoal is worth thinking about twice, because on the way back you will have it against you. At Golfo Aranci the accesses change with the bathing season. In a building sea the rock you got in from may not be there on the way back.

SOLO 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.

Look at the water
right now.

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».

Law

✓NO paid licence, but a free MASAF REGISTRATION is mandatory (recreational sea-fishing declaration, online via SIAN/SPID, annual) — it is not a «licence».
✓Free-diving only: scuba/rebreather/hookah BANNED (art. 128-bis DPR 1639/68). The 16+ rule comes from a different act — D.Lgs 4/2012, art. 6 c. 5; handing a speargun to an under-16 is an offence (art. 13-octies c. 3 b, as replaced by L. 75/2026).
✓Night prohibited: spearfishing only from dawn to sunset (art. 129e DPR 1639/68).
✓Distances (art. 129 DPR 1639/68): ≥500 m from beaches with bathers; ≥100 m from fixed gear/set nets and from vessels anchored outside ports.
✓Buoy MANDATORY (art. 130 DPR 1639/68): float with a red flag bearing a white diagonal stripe, visible ≥300 m; the diver stays within 50 m of the buoy/support boat.
✓The speargun may not be kept armed out of the water (art. 131 DPR 1639/68) — load only when submerged.
✓The spearfisher may NOT gather corals, crustaceans or molluscs — the second paragraph of the same article (art. 128-bis DPR 1639/68; the same rule in D.M. 249/1987, art. 2). BUT cephalopods are EXCLUDED: octopus, cuttlefish and squid may be taken — the exception is kept in terms by the official guidance (circolare 6227201 of 23.07.1987). Mussels — up to 3 kg per person per day, but only with the Capo del Compartimento Marittimo's authorisation. The 5 kg daily cap counts EVERYTHING taken that day (D.Lgs 4/2012, art. 13-octies c. 4, as replaced by L. 75/2026).
✓You MAY carry a speargun and a breathing apparatus on the same boat — but at most ONE cylinder of up to 10 L per vessel, and using it to fish is prohibited (art. 128-ter DPR 1639/68). While you are down, at least one person must stay aboard ready to intervene, and there must be a rope long enough to recover the diver.
✓Sale of recreational catch is PROHIBITED (EU control regime, Reg. CE 1224/2009).
✓The 5 kg/person daily cap IS in force and carries a fine: €500–3 000 up to 10 kg, €2 000–12 000 up to 50 kg, €12 000–50 000 above (D.Lgs 4/2012, art. 13-octies c. 4, as replaced by Law 21 Apr 2026 no. 75). Exception: a single fish heavier than 5 kg. Recovery-plan species and bluefin tuna: +1/3 (c. 5).
✓Sardegna (autonomous): STRICTER minimum sizes (parenthetical in the species table: dentex 30, mullet 25, moray 60, conger 50, amberjack/leerfish 60 cm etc.) + FULL grouper (cernia) ban.

Safety protocol

Sets: watch the wave trains ≥15 min before entering; Hmax ≈ 2×Hs, the wash can run 50 m past the foam line. A lull >10 min with period >12 s = a big set «overdue», do NOT enter; enter right after a full set passes and re-check at minute 30.
Exit FIRST: find your exit AND a backup before entering. On a rocky/boulder shore a 0.5 m rise in swell can make the exit impossible — getting pinned/unable to climb out is the main killer.
Headland rip: prominent points often have a permanent topographic rip regardless of the model — locate it, enter/exit on the windward side, never swim against it.
Cold: wetsuit per the SST chip; the first shiver = a metabolic surge and a drop in breath-hold → get out at the first steady shiver. Cap the session at 45–60 min below 15 °C.
Solo discipline: buoy up; tell someone the spot and exit time; conservative breath-hold (never push it in cold/murky/surfy water); visibility <3 m — don't enter.
Afternoon wind: on many coasts the wind builds from midday — plan to be out of the water by midday; the chop builds — get out.
UV 11:00–15:00 (UVI ≥6): sunscreen and cover up on the surface interval.
Solo is a fundamental risk (hypoxic blackout with no buddy). Any doubt = No-go.

Spearfishing in Golfo Aranci: spots, seasons and rules

Updated 2026-07-09 · By Oleksandr, spearfisher

Golfo Aranci is a Capo Figari plan, not a free run toward Tavolara. The listed marks sit outside the reserve core: Capo Figari north flank, Cala Moresca, Figarolo, Cala Sassari and Cala Greca. Stay north of the Tavolara-Punta Coda Cavallo MPA on the south-eastern side. Italy requires a free MASAF declaration through SIAN/SPID, not a paid licence. Sardinia makes dusky grouper zero-take.

TL;DR

Golfo Aranci is a Capo Figari plan: granite marks, Figarolo current, Mistral shelter, and a hard Tavolara MPA boundary.

Use Capo Figari north side, Cala Moresca, Figarolo, Cala Sassari and Cala Greca as outside-MPA shore marks, with no invented safety grades.

Italy has no paid licence, but the free MASAF SIAN/SPID declaration is mandatory and is not a licence.

Sardinia overrides the normal grouper wording: dusky grouper, cernia, is fully banned there, and MPAs ban it as well.

Where can you spearfish in Golfo Aranci?

The usable marks cluster around Capo Figari and the coves below it. Habitat notes are available, but formal safety scores and maximum depths are not provided. The key distinction is legal geography: these marks are outside the Tavolara core, while the MPA itself is not a speargun area.

Spot	Type	Depth	Level	Access	Notes
Capo Figari (fianco N)	Granite reef	No spot maximum published	Boundary and exit check	Rocky Capo Figari coast	Dentex is listed here. The note says the south side gives Mistral shelter, so choose the side by wind.
Cala Moresca	Outer gulf rock	Coastal rock, no max depth stated	MPA-aware mark	Cove below Capo Figari	Sea bream on the outer rock. The practical rule is to stay north of the Tavolara MPA.
Isola di Figarolo	Granite islet	Walls and boulders	Current-aware	Islet off Capo Figari	Dentex and amberjack are listed. The channel current makes the float and return line important.
Cala Sassari	Sheltered rocky cove
