Today — sit it out — wave, wind and surge pounding.

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.
The day is picked above, in the hero. Here are that day's windows, the hour-by-hour map and the trends. Tap a window to break down the conditions.
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 mapA 250 m beach on the north side of Cambawarra Head, backed by a raised beachrock platform. Shallow reefs lie 200 to 300 m off the sand and the shore is usually calm. Green Head's offshore reefs are used for fishing and scuba diving.
Google MapsAn almost circular, sheltered bay ringed by low rock cliffs at the western tip of Green Head, with calm water. Its 100 m beach sits between rock platforms about 100 m wide. The regional tourism guide lists the bays for snorkelling and the offshore reefs and islands for diving.
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».

Jurien Bay Inshore buoy: wave 2.4 m · 2 h ago(model: 3.4 m)
Point Louise is a 400 m stretch of calcarenite coast, 10 to 20 m high, that ends in a narrow finger. Its 70 m beach is fronted by a continuous rock platform 20 to 30 m wide, with reefs further out. Offshore, Green Head's islands and reefs are the ground for fishing and diving.
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.
Rules change and vary BY STATE. Before heading out, check with your state's fisheries (NSW DPI, Fisheries QLD, VFA, DPIRD WA, PIRSA, NRE Tas, NT Fisheries) and the marine-park zoning map.
Green Head has rock entry points such as Cambawarra Head, Dynamite Bay and Point Louise. Green Head faces west-south-west and is open from the south round to the north-west. Below you'll find each spot (access, shelter and hazards) and today's forecast.
Autumn–winter — less wind; the Abrolhos on the offshore banks in the calm.
19–24 °C — 3–5 mm suit; warm Leeuwin, the Abrolhos.
Moderate: offshore Abrolhos, boat needed; wind.
Green Head is in WA. No licence from the shore in Western Australia — but fishing from a boat needs the RFBL, and the WA dhufish sits under a demersal closure to spring 2027. Spearfishing on scuba is banned everywhere, rock lobster may never be speared, and marine-park sanctuary/green zones are no-take. See the guide for the state-by-state detail.
