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.
Leave your email — and the moment a window opens at Ko Tao, we'll send the go / no-go verdict. Email is all we need.

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.
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.

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 has no national ban in Thailand, but it is prohibited in every national park — most offshore islands and reefs — where taking animals and bringing in hunting gear or weapons is banned (National Parks Act B.E. 2562, s.19). Check provincial rules; breath-hold only.
Ko Tao has rock entry points such as Chumphon Pinnacle, Southwest Pinnacle and HTMS Sattakut. Small granite island in the western Gulf, one of the world's busiest dive-training centres — the bays are full of students. Below you'll find each spot (access, shelter and hazards) and today's forecast.
March–September; November–January the north-east monsoon roughs up the east-facing coasts (Ko Tao, Samui), while the eastern Gulf is calm in winter.
28–30 °C all year — a rashguard or 1.5–3 mm.
Coral and granite pinnacles, visibility 5–20 m; marine national parks (Ang Thong, Ko Chang, Ko Samet) are closed to hunting.
