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.

Valovi i pamćenje mora
Visina, period i smjer valova, uz trag nedavnih oluja — stara oluja još muti vodu, a motor to pamti.
Wind & gusts
Speed and gusts, hour by hour — wind speed and an onshore push chop the surface and cut visibility.
Tide phase
Timing and range of the tide, calibrated per coast — big spring tides pull the verdict toward caution.
Water temperature
Sea-surface temperature — sharply cold water vetoes a green verdict.
Currents & outflow
Direction and drift of the current — it pushes you, and it drags turbid coastal water across where you dive.
Rain runoff & air clarity
Rain muddies the water inshore through land runoff, while fog and haze cut visibility at the surface.
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.

Praia da CoelhaCoelha cove (Sesmarias)
zatvoreno
mrtvo more danas bočno
prozor
Summer, early morning; an intimate cove, no gear rental — bring your own.
plima
High/mid tide by the rocks and the arch; at low tide the ledges dry out and the rock entry gets slippery.
zaklon
Small cove in golden cliffs with a natural arch to the west — sheltered from W wind and swell; open to direct south.
opasnost
Undercut cliffs — falling-rock risk, do not sit under the walls; lifeguarded concession — hunting in the beach zone is banned in season; entry over smooth slippery rock.
pristup
Dirt path then a cliff stairway down to the small sandy beach; enter off the sand and the rocky ends by the arch.

Quiet cove with a natural arch and good life by the rocks; rockfall and slippery entry are the risks, keep hunting out of the beach zone in season. ⚠️ Coords correct (claimed 37.0738,-8.2937 vs OSM beach node 37.07368,-8.29363, ~13 m). But hazard DOWNPLAYED: two independent sources state Coelha has 'a steep drop further out and currents can be strong' — the stated hazard mentions only undercut cliffs + slippery-rock entry and omits the strong currents / sudden drop-off, a material omission for a solo spearo.

Google Maps
Praia da GaléGalé reef shelf (Galé–Chiringuito)
zatvoreno
mrtvo more danas bočno
prozor
Summer, early morning — a big popular beach, busy by day; snorkel at the rocks on the eastern end.
plima
High tide is recommended, water covers the reef shelf; low tide opens arches, channels and pools and lets you cross to neighbouring beaches, but the shelf is exposed.
zaklon
Low ochre cliffs and reef ridges give partial wind cover; the beach is open to direct S swell — less enclosed than the eastern coves.
opasnost
Long concessioned, lifeguarded beach — hunting in the beach zone is banned in season; at low tide the reef cuts and you can get trapped in the channels as swell builds; watch for boats/SUP off Galé.
pristup
Large car park and ramp/access straight to the sand; enter off the sand, the reef shelf is to the east, reached on foot along the rocks.

Less enclosed than São Rafael/Castelo and crowded — a fallback: there is structure on the reef shelf, but on a clean south the swell builds fast.

Google Maps
Praia do CasteloCastelo headland (Sesmarias)
zatvoreno
mrtvo more danas bočno
prozor
Summer, early morning for calm water and parking; one of the quieter coves in the area.
plima
High/mid tide covers the reef shelves; at low tide the submerged rocks sit near the surface.
zaklon
High cliffs and the castle rock to the east, plus reefs to the west, kill the wind well; sheltered from W swell, open to S swell.
opasnost
Main danger is cliff collapse — fresh rockfall is visible, do not sit under the cliffs. Submerged rocks at the entry; concession — hunting in the beach zone in season is banned.
pristup
Wooden staircase from the free clifftop car park (~50 m) to the sand; enter off the sand and work along the rocky ends.

The castle rock to the east and the western reefs give structure; stay clear of the cliff base because of rockfall.

Google Maps
Praia de São RafaelSão Rafael cove (west Albufeira)
zatvoreno
najbolji kandidat za danas
mrtvo more danas bočno
prozor
June–September season; early morning before the crowd and wind. Small squid gather on the rocks at dusk.
plima
Best at high or mid tide — more water and fish over the ledges; low tide exposes the shallow shelves.
zaklon
The cove's limestone cliffs and rock stacks shelter it from W wind and W swell; it is exposed to direct S swell.
opasnost
Concessioned, lifeguarded beach — in bathing season spearfishing is banned in the beach zone (within 50 m of bathers). Falling rocks from the undercut cliffs.
pristup
Cliff stairway from the car park and restaurant straight to the sand; enter off the sand and off the rock ledges at the cove ends.

Albufeira's easiest, most readable cove for snorkel/freedive; hunt only outside the bathing season/beach zone, off the rocky ends.

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.

Zakon
🦀 spider crab open (season 16.06–14.02)
  • ✓Spearfishing licence required (16+), daily/monthly/annual (~€25/yr). Speargun = licence required.
  • ✓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.
  • ✓Invertebrates (including spider crab) — 2 kg/day total.
  • ✓Spider crab: min. carapace 12 cm; (closed season) 15.02–15.06 — applies to recreational gathering too.
  • ✓Min. sizes: robalo 36 cm, sargo 17 cm, dourada 19 cm, choupa 23 cm, corvina 42 cm; octopus 750 g.
  • ✓Grouper — fully protected, may not be taken.
  • ⛔ Grouper (Epinephelus) — fully protected, capture PROHIBITED.
  • ⛔ Seahorses (Hippocampus) — protected.

Rules change. Before heading out, check with DGRM / ICNF / Capitania and the defeso table.

Sigurnosni protokol
  • 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.

FAQ — spearfishing in Albufeira

Where can I spearfish in Albufeira?

Albufeira has rock entry points such as Praia de São Rafael, Praia do Castelo and Praia da Galé. Albufeira, on the sheltered south coast, is a central-Algarve dive-charter base. Below you'll find each spot (access, shelter and hazards) and today's forecast.
