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: 1152 spots across 189 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.

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 and fees/seasons are updated yearly. Before heading out, check the Ministry of Agriculture fisheries portal (ribarstvo.mps.hr) and get the SPORT licence (the annual via HSSRM/a club); a speargun without it is illegal.
Komiža is the serious Vis-side plan. The Vassilios T wreck at Rt Stupišće is listed with conger eel, scorpionfish and dentex; the bow is 22 m and the hull reaches 55 m, so breath-hold planning stops at the bow. Biševo outer reefs, Svetac and Brusnik / Jabuka are more offshore, while the Komiža rocky point is the closer option. Access is not described, and Brusnik / Jabuka is explicitly deep and for experienced divers.
Depth and remoteness matter more than the fish list here. The wreck is the only row with numeric depth, while the offshore islets need a conservative sea window.
| Spot | Type | Depth | Level | Access | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Olupina Vassilios T (Rt Stupišće) | Wreck on a wall | Bow 22 m, hull to 55 m | Medium; bow only for breath-hold | Not described | Conger eel, scorpionfish and dentex. Do not turn the hull into a freedive objective. |
| Vanjski grebeni Biševa | Outer islet reefs | No numeric depth | Medium; yellow safety rating | Not described | Dentex and amberjack on an exposed outer-islet profile. |
| Svetac (Sveti Andrija) | Remote offshore islet | No numeric depth | Medium; yellow safety rating | Not described | Dentex, amberjack and bonito. Distance is the main planning issue. |
| Brusnik / Jabuka | Volcanic deep islet | Deep, no number given | Experienced only; yellow safety rating | Not described | Amberjack and dentex. The deep, expert-only note is the controlling fact. |
| Komiža (Vis) – kameni rt | Rocky point | No numeric depth | Medium; yellow safety rating | Not described | Dentex and amberjack on the closer rocky-point option. |
The local aspect is about 260 degrees, with a bad sector of 165-285 degrees and the worst direction near 225 degrees. That is a west and southwest exposure problem for Biševo, Svetac and the more distant islets. No webcam, river plume or nearby buoy is listed, so remote planning has little backup. Under NN 48/2026, speargun fishing in Croatia needs the sport sea-fishing licence, not the ordinary recreational licence. It is breath-hold only, daylight only, minimum age 16, with a marker buoy and no more than two spearguns per diver.
The bow is listed at 22 m and the hull down to 55 m; the breath-hold note says bow only.
No. It is described as a deep volcanic islet for experienced divers.
No. No webcam is listed for these spots.
The bad sector is 165-285 degrees, with the worst direction around 225 degrees.
No. A sport sea-fishing licence is required.
