Le verdict vient de sept facteurs de l'eau et de verrous de sécurité — pas de dix onglets. Y aller ou pas.
How we score the water
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.
01
Houle et mémoire de la vague
Hauteur, période et direction de la houle, plus le sillage des tempêtes récentes — une vieille tempête trouble encore l'eau, et le moteur s'en souvient.
02
Wind & gusts
Speed and gusts, hour by hour — wind speed and an onshore push chop the surface and cut visibility.
03
Tide phase
Timing and range of the tide, calibrated per coast — big spring tides pull the verdict toward caution.
04
Water temperature
Sea-surface temperature — sharply cold water vetoes a green verdict.
05
Currents & outflow
Direction and drift of the current — it pushes you, and it drags turbid coastal water across where you dive.
06
Rain runoff & air clarity
Rain muddies the water inshore through land runoff, while fog and haze cut visibility at the surface.
07
Coast shape & exposure
How the coast faces the swell — a sheltered cove keeps the water clean; an exposed, head-on point takes a penalty.
Safety gates
Thunderstorm forecast — an instant red, no exceptions.
An official warning (MeteoAlarm / IPMA) — yellow, or red for the higher ranks.
Missing input data — a would-be green is capped to yellow rather than overstated.
Strong disagreement between forecast models — a green day is pulled back to yellow.
Night hours — forced red; the window is closed after dark.
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.

Ce que c'est
Un instrument marin, on-y-va / on-n'y-va-pas pour la chasse en solo.
spearo.app réunit vent, vague, période de houle, visibilité, marées, température de l'eau et risque en un seul verdict — aller au spot ou non. Il calcule 7 jours à l'avance à partir de modèles marins ouverts (Open-Meteo, IPMA), sans inscription ni compte. Conçu pour la chasse sous-marine en solo depuis les rochers, où la moindre erreur coûte cher.
Now live: 1152 spots across 189 stretches of coast — mainland Portugal, Madeira and the Azores.

Sur le rocher
La prévision, c'est le plan. La décision se prend sur le rocher.
Les modèles fixent le créneau. Si vous entrez à l'eau, ça se lit seulement sur place : comptez les séries, observez le ressac à l'entrée. Dans le doute, vous n'entrez pas.

Praia do ZavialZavial bay, east corner (Raposeira)
fermé
in the headland's lee today — swell from the quarter/behind
créneau
Summer in a swell-free window, mornings before the thermal wind. Blue Flag beach with a summer lifeguard.
marée
Mid-tide to enter off the sand in the east corner; at low tide the west reef shoals and dries, making the rocky exit more dangerous.
abri
Large south-facing bay; the east corner (left as you face the sea) is sheltered from the N and NW wind. Picks up NW and W swell more than the Sagres beaches do.
danger
Hidden rocks on the west reef and currents once swell enters — the main risk is the same one surfers face: invisible rocks in the break. Exiting by the west rocks you can get pinned.
accès
The road from Raposeira/Zavial drops to a large car park by the beach; cafe on site. Enter off the sand in the sheltered east corner and swim to the reef along the west rocks.
Same natural park and lifeguarded beach as Ingrina: speargun only legal for residents and never near bathers. Neighbouring Ingrina, 3 min west, is usually calmer.
Praia da IngrinaIngrina cove (Raposeira, south coast)

meilleur candidat du jour
in the headland's lee today — swell from the quarter/behind
créneau
Late spring to early autumn, mornings before the thermal wind builds. Lifeguard on duty June-September.
marée
Best around mid-tide; at low tide the west rocks and reef pools dry out and the sandy entry gets awkward.
abri
Small shell-shaped cove on the south coast, sheltered from the prevailing N and NW wind and from west Atlantic swell. The most sheltered, clearest spot in the whole Vila do Bispo municipality.
danger
Submerged and just-awash rocks at both ends of the cove and along the west 'pier' — easy to cut yourself and get pinned on exit if swell builds. Bathers on the beach in summer.
accès
Turn off at Raposeira to the restaurant above the cove, small car park right by the beach. Short walk down to the sand; enter off the central sand, skirting the rocks.
Inside the Costa Vicentina natural park and a lifeguarded beach — spearfishing here is allowed only for municipality residents and never near bathers; for a visitor this is a freedive/snorkel spot, not a speargun spot.
Praia do CastelejoWest-coast surf beach (Costa Vicentina)
fermé
exposed head-on to the swell today
créneau
Only calm summer mornings; otherwise stay out. Summer lifeguard on duty.
marée
If you enter at all, only on a low-to-mid tide with falling swell; at low tide the hidden rocks in the break are exposed.
abri
Exposed west coast under dark cliffs — virtually no shelter. Takes the full Atlantic swell and NW wind head-on. Calm only in a rare flat window.
danger
Strong rip currents, powerful waves and HIDDEN submerged rocks along the whole beach — the same risks that kill surfers. Solo and with any swell — no. Scout from land first.
accès
Paved road from Vila do Bispo (~3.7 km) drops to a car park and cafe right above the beach; sandy entry. But it is the sea state, not access, that decides.
The main west-coast beach of the municipality — a powerful surf spot, 'not recommended for swimming'. Included as the exposed-entry example: scout from land, dive only in a rare flat window.
SOLO 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.

Regardez l'eau en ce moment.
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».

✓Hand-gathering shellfish with NO gear — no licence; but if a speargun is on the dive, a spearfishing licence is required.
✓Night prohibited: spearfishing only in daylight (sunset→sunrise not allowed). Artificial light as a means of finding/attracting fish is banned — a torch for safety only.
✓Signalling buoy MANDATORY for spearfishing: buoy/float with an «Alfa» flag (red/orange/yellow, ≥8 L), no more than 30 m from the diver.
✓Spearfishing daily limit: fish + cephalopods — 15 kg (excluding the largest specimen). General rod-and-line recreational fishing — 10 kg.
Rules change. Before heading out, check with DGRM / ICNF / Capitania and the defeso table.
Protocole de sécurité
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. At Cabo Raso/Arriba a 0.5 m rise in swell makes a boulder exit impossible — getting pinned/unable to climb out is the main killer here.
Headland rip: at Cabo Raso there is 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.
Nortada (Jun–Sep): wind builds from midday — be out of the water by ~11:00; 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.
