Presuda dolazi iz sedam čimbenika vode i sigurnosnih blokada — a ne iz deset kartica. Ići ili ne.
Kako ocjenjujemo more
Naš vlastiti model
Naš vlastiti motor prognoze — nije widget treće strane. Vaga ove čimbenike vode u jednu presudu «ići ili ne» za ovu obalu; brojčanik od 0 do 10 upravo je ta presuda, iskazana brojem.
01
Valovi i pamćenje mora
Visina, period i smjer valova, uz trag nedavnih oluja — stara oluja još muti vodu, a motor to pamti.
02
Vjetar i udari
Brzina i udari, sat po sat — jačina vjetra i pritisak s pučine razbijaju površinu i režu vidljivost.
03
Faza plime
Vrijeme i raspon plime, kalibrirani po obali — velike sizigijske plime vuku presudu prema oprezu.
04
Temperatura mora
Temperatura površine — izrazito hladno more stavlja veto na zelenu presudu.
05
Struje i istjecanje
Smjer i snos struje — nosi te i vuče mutnu priobalnu vodu onamo gdje roniš.
06
Oborine i prozirnost zraka
Kiša muti vodu uz obalu ispiranjem s kopna, a magla i sumaglica režu vidljivost na površini.
07
Oblik obale i izloženost
Kako je obala okrenuta prema valovima — zaklonjena uvala drži vodu bistrom; izloženi rt na udaru dobiva kaznu.
Sigurnosne blokade
Prognoza grmljavinskog nevremena — trenutačno crveno, bez iznimke.
Službeno upozorenje (MeteoAlarm / IPMA) — žuto, a na višim razinama crveno.
Nedostaju ulazni podaci — moguće zeleno spušta se na žuto umjesto da se precijeni.
Snažno neslaganje prognostičkih modela — zeleni dan vraća se na žuto.
Noćni sati — gdje je noćni podvodni ribolov zabranjen zakonom prozor je prisilno crven; gdje je legalan (Australija izvan NSW-a, Novi Zeland, Južna Afrika) zaustavlja se na žutom, nikad zeleno.
Sve se svodi na jednu ocjenu od 0 do 10 i jednu presudu: ići ili ne.
Prognoza, ne jamstvo — zadnju riječ ima more.

Što je to
Pomorski instrument, idi / ne idi za solo lov.
spearo.app spaja vjetar, val, period vala, vidljivost, plimu, temperaturu vode i rizik u jednu ocjenu — idi na točku ili ne. Računa 7 dana unaprijed iz otvorenih pomorskih modela (Open-Meteo, IPMA), bez registracije i računa. Napravljen za solo podvodni ribolov sa stijena, gdje svaka greška skupo košta.
Uživo: 1391 točaka na 205 dionica obale — kopneni Portugal, Madeira i Azori.
Modeli određuju prozor. Hoćeš li ući, čita se tek na vodi: broji setove, prati udar mora na ulazu. Ako sumnjaš, ne ulaziš.
Ulazne točke

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.
uvjeti
Diveable in calm seas with swell under ~0.5 m; the best ground is the rocks and reef shelf between Galé and Chiringuito/Bés, with the tide covering the shelf.
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.

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.
uvjeti
Diveable in calm seas with little S swell; crystal-clear water, the small rocky inlets at the ends give good ground.
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.

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.
uvjeti
Diveable in calm/light wind with swell under ~0.5–0.8 m; water usually clear, visibility 6–12 m, 1–5 m depth along the rocks.
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.

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.
uvjeti
Diveable in calm seas with little S swell; clear, calm water, with noticeably more fish by the rocks than at typical Algarve snorkel spots.
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.
SOLO je najveći rizik: pod vodom možeš izgubiti svijest od nedostatka kisika, tiho i sa smrtnim ishodom, bez nikoga u blizini. Solo nikad nije stvarno «sigurno». Ispod su najbolji vremenski prozori; nosi bovu, nekome reci plan i vrijeme izlaska, i pri bilo kakvoj sumnji — ne idi.
Jedan pogled ujutro — i znaš ideš li.

Zakon
🦀 rakovica dozvoljena (sezona 16.06.–14.02.)
✓Spearfishing licence required, daily/monthly/annual (~€25/yr). Speargun = licence required. (DL 246/2000, art. 12.º + 12.º-A; fees in , .) There is no minimum age for the licence, but under-16s are exempt from holding one when fishing accompanied by a licence holder (art. 12.º n.º 2 al. b).
✓Hand-gathering shellfish with NO gear — no licence; but if a speargun is on the dive, a spearfishing licence is required (DL 246/2000, art. 12.º n.º 1; ).
✓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 (, art. 8.º/3 + 3.º/5; DL 246/2000, art. 14.º n.º 1 d).
✓Signalling buoy MANDATORY for spearfishing: buoy/float with an «Alfa» flag (red/orange/yellow, ≥8 L), no more than 30 m from the diver (, art. 4.º/2).
✓Spearfishing daily limit: fish + cephalopods — 15 kg (excluding the largest specimen). General rod-and-line recreational fishing — 10 kg (, art. 12.º/1).
✓Spider crab: min. carapace 12 cm; (closed season) 15.02–15.06 — applies to recreational gathering too (, ; table).
✓Min. sizes: robalo 36 cm, sargo 17 cm, dourada 19 cm, choupa 23 cm, corvina 42 cm; octopus 750 g ( + EU Reg. 2019/1241; minimum-size table).

Sigurnosni protokol
Setovi: prati nizove valova ≥15 min prije ulaska; Hmax ≈ 2×Hs, zapljuskivanje može ići 50 m dalje od linije pjene. Zatišje >10 min uz period >12 s = veliki set koji «kasni», NE ulazi; uđi odmah nakon što prođe cijeli set i provjeri ponovno u 30. minuti.
Izlaz PRVO: nađi izlaz I rezervni prije ulaska. Na Cabo Rasu/Arribi porast mrtvog mora od 0,5 m čini izlaz preko gromada nemogućim — ostati zaglavljen/bez izlaza glavni je ubojica ovdje.
Struja na rtu: na Cabo Rasu stalno postoji topografska povratna struja, bez obzira na model — lociraj je, ulazi/izlazi s privjetrine, nikad ne plivaj protiv nje.
Hladnoća: neopren prema prikazanoj SST; prvi drhtaj = skok metabolizma i pad apneje → izađi na prvi ustrajni drhtaj. Ispod 15 °C ograniči izlazak na 45–60 min.
Disciplina u solo ronjenju: bova gore; nekome reci lokaciju i vrijeme izlaska; konzervativna apneja (nikad ne forsiraj u hladnoj/mutnoj/uzburkanoj vodi); vidljivost <3 m — ne ulazi.
Nortada (lip–ruj): vjetar jača od podneva — budi izvan vode do ~11:00; kad se digne kratki val — izlazi.
UV 11:00–15:00 (UV indeks ≥6): krema za sunce i pokrij se u pauzama na površini.
Solo je temeljni rizik (hipoksični gubitak svijesti bez partnera). Bilo kakva sumnja = ne ide se.
Česta pitanja — podvodni ribolov u Albufeira
Gdje se roni u podvodnom ribolovu u Albufeira?
Albufeira ima ulaze sa stijena poput Praia de São Rafael, Praia do Castelo i Praia da Galé. Albufeira, on the sheltered south coast, is a central-Algarve dive-charter base. Ispod je svaki punkt (pristup, zaklon i opasnosti) i današnja prognoza.
Koja je najbolja sezona u Albufeira?
The country's longest season: good May to October and workable in the shoulder months. The south coast is sheltered from the dominant swell and has the best visibility.
Kolika je temperatura mora u Albufeira?
The mainland's warmest: ~16–23 °C in summer. A 3 mm suit in high summer, 5 mm in the shoulder months.
Je li podvodni ribolov u Albufeira pogodan za početnike?
The most accessible in the country: warm, clear, sheltered water with more good days — a good place to build water time on calm days. Even so, check the forecast and local hazards.
Treba li dozvola u Albufeira?
Yes — in Albufeira, as everywhere on the mainland, you need a recreational fishing licence (DGRM); breath-hold only (no scuba), with a marker buoy and no night diving. See the guide for the details.
✓Breath-hold only: spearfishing may be practised in apnea alone. Scuba, rebreather and hookah are banned; the speargun may not be powered by a detonating charge or by compressed gas (DL 246/2000, art. 9.º n.º 3 — o antigo art. 6.º foi revogado).
✓The catch may NOT be sold: displaying for sale, offering or selling recreational catch is prohibited — it is for the fisher, the household, or donation to charitable, scientific or museum institutions (DL 246/2000, art. 7.º).
✓A loaded speargun out of the water is an offence (DL 246/2000, art. 14.º n.º 2 f). Same article: no fishing closer than the legally set distance from concessioned beaches during the bathing season (n.º 2 d), nor in places closed for health or marine-traffic reasons (n.º 2 e). The exact metres come from the regulation and the capitania — check before you go.
✓Distances between people: at least 20 m from another spearfisher (, art. 6.º n.º 3) unless you agree otherwise; from a boat, 50 m from other vessels, divers and set gear (art. 6.º n.º 2); every vessel must keep 50 m from your signalling buoy and from boats flying flag Alfa (art. 7.º n.º 6). The figure that circulates — «30 m between hunters» — is wrong: 30 m is the distance to YOUR OWN buoy.
✓What you may take into the water: the CAPTURE gear on a spearfishing dive is the speargun, a shellfish knife, a gaff (puxeiro) and an arrelhada (, art. 3.º n.º 3). That is not a ban on everything else: art. 4.º n.º 1 expressly allows equipment for cold protection, for buoyancy, for protection or safety and for carrying the catch, and any other equipment that does not permit the direct capture of specimens. Bait and groundbait are PROHIBITED in spearfishing (art. 5.º n.º 3). You may not carry or keep a speargun and a breathing apparatus aboard at the same time, nor carry the gun ready to fire out of the water or in a zone where spearfishing is banned (art. 3.º n.º 6). On any recreational-fishing boat the whole crew wears a lifejacket (art. 4.º n.º 3).
✓Where recreational fishing is closed altogether (, art. 8.º n.º 1): in marked shipyard zones (no exception) and in aquaculture establishments — in the LATTER only, fishing is possible when the concession-holder or owner formally authorises it; the shipyard bar has no such carve-out; within 100 m of the mouth of any marked sewage outfall; over beach-concession waters, to the extent the POOC sets; and in other zones closed by the port or maritime authority. For spearfishing and boat fishing specifically (n.º 2) the navigation channels of port and river bars, the approach channels and the buoyed channels are closed. There is NO «300 m from the beach» rule on the mainland — that number comes from Madeira's own act; on the mainland the distance is set by the POOC and by the capitania's edital.
✓The border rivers Minho and Guadiana: spearfishing is BANNED along both international stretches — bilateral Portugal-Spain agreements, art. 9.º n.º 3 (Minho, RAR 34/2023, in force since 26-05-2023) and art. 6.º n.º 1 (Guadiana, RAR 173/2025, in force since 07-12-2025), both reading «É proibida a pesca submarina». On the Guadiana it is also a serious offence (art. 19.º), and a 100 m strip alongside the Sapal de Castro Marim reserve is closed separately (art. 5.º). The stretches run from the confluence with the Trancoso / the Chança down to the closing line at each mouth.
✓On the other Portuguese-Spanish border river stretches (outside the TIRM and the Guadiana maritime-jurisdiction zone) — Decreto 30/88, art. 6.º n.º 1: harpoons, gigs, tridents and any blunt instrument used to take fish are prohibited (al. e), as is «a pesca ou caça subaquática» with artificial light, and night fishing (al. g).
