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.

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: 1391 spots across 205 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 mapShallow cove west of the harbour, stepped rock and sand; entry from the rocks at Villaggio Belgiovine. The bottom drops slowly: sea bream, octopus, the odd sea bass close in. With a grecale the swell gets in and the visibility goes.
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.

Rules change. Before heading out, check with MASAF (registration) and the Guardia Costiera / Capitaneria di Porto; Sicily and Sardegna add regional tightening.
Molfetta has rock entry points such as Prima Cala. Spearfishing in Molfetta: sea forecast and shore-entry spots. Below you'll find each spot (access, shelter and hazards) and today's forecast.
A long season on the Gargano and in the Salento, with often crystal-clear turquoise water (Mattinata, Otranto, Leuca). The Adriatic Salento opens with a westerly, the Ionian one with an easterly — there's almost always a side that works.
Warm: ~14–27 °C. A 3 mm suit in summer, 5 mm in the shoulder months. The white cliffs of the Gargano and the Salento give clear turquoise water, with quick drop-offs.
Intermediate: cliffs dropping into depth and very clear water (Otranto, Castro, Leuca). The Salento is exposed to opposite wind arcs — pick the day's sheltered side. Mind the set nets near the rock. Buoy always.
No — in Molfetta there is no paid licence; a free MASAF declaration is mandatory (the recreational sea-fishing communication, online via SIAN/SPID, renewed each year), which is not a «licence». Breath-hold only (no scuba), with a marker buoy and no selling the catch. See the guide.
