Chasse sous-marine à José Ignacio — vent, houle, visibilité, marées et caméras en direct

• sea bream (sargo)
  Diplodus argenteus · 0–12 m · légal
• black drum
  Pogonias courbina · 1–20 m · ⚠️ fermeture/limite
  Black corvina: mind the reproductive closure (winter). Big fish = better breeders, release them.
• flounder
  Paralichthys spp. · 1–20 m · légal
• brotula
  Urophycis brasiliensis · 3–25 m · légal

• ✓DINARA sport-fishing permit; sport fishing is open except for zones/species/gear that need a permit. Res. 388/2015 froze new 'from-shore' permits. Sale prohibited.
• ✓Precautionary closed season for black corvina (DINARA) and winter brótola; respect minimum sizes.

• ⛔ 🚫 Isla de Lobos (NP, Dto 233/024) and Cerro Verde e Islas de la Coronilla (SNAP) — no-take: no hunting. Cabo Polonio — advisory ring, avoid hunting.
• ⛔ Sea lions, turtles and cetaceans — protected; do not disturb.

Rules change. Before heading out, get the DINARA sport-fishing permit and respect the black-corvina closure and minimum sizes.

• 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.
