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: 3016 točaka na 406 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
Gdje ući sa stijena.
Izviđene ulazne točke, obojene prema današnjem danu. Boja je stanje mora na točki, ne jamstvo: zapljuskivanje i sklizak ulaz procjenjuješ na licu mjesta.
Calling this a tide is generous: ten to thirty centimetres and the subject is closed. Out at the mouth, though, where the reef breaks down towards forty metres, you feel an along-shore drift: it pulls north and stiffens noticeably after a few windy days. Below twenty-five metres the water turns sharply colder.
zaklon
Agni is a tiny bay with three tavernas, squeezed between two rock shoulders; the slope rises straight behind it and the north-west wind passes overhead. Inside it is nearly always smooth. The mouth, though, faces east, and a north-easterly out of the channel walks straight in.
uvjeti
Maistro and anything westerly are your days: the reef reads from fifteen metres all the way down. A quiet southerly works too. On a north-easterly do not come: the boats on the moorings start swinging, and out on the reef the wave lifts silt from the sand pockets between the rocks.
opasnost
The real headache is moored boats: the law wants three hundred metres from them and from any gear, and in summer they fill the whole inner bay. So you work outside, on the reef. The bottom drops to forty-two metres — dive within yourself and always with a partner. The Albanian shore is close, so do not drift east.
pristup
Tarmac drops from Gimari or Kentroma, a narrow hairpin road with passing places, and at the bottom there is room for a handful of cars — in high summer it is taken by breakfast. A water taxi from Kalami or Kassiopi is easier. Enter off the pebble by the tavernas and swim north along the rock, about seven minutes to the reef.
NE-channel reef 15–42 m, sheltered; rocky reef running deep, shore and boat, traffic in the bays. Inside the 200 m coastal band spearfishing is banned 1 Apr–31 Oct (Corfu port authority, ΦΕΚ 3269/Β/2024).
The Ionian has no metre tides; the whole thing is counted in centimetres. What you do feel is the water inside the cave: it rocks with the long wave, and in the narrow part it can carry you along. On the drop from thirty-five down there is a sharp cold layer, and below it visibility is usually better than up top.
zaklon
The wall sits under sheer cliffs by Cape Plaka, south of Paleokastritsa. The rock behind kills anything coming off the land from the east — even in a fresh easterly a narrow band of smooth water holds under it. To the west, though, it is wide open: nothing between you and Italy.
uvjeti
You need a settled calm, and not just on the forecast: west swell arrives here a day after the wind has already dropped and rolls into the cave mouth. An easterly off the mountains is the perfect day. If the water at the grotto entrance is breathing back and forth, turn around — deeper down it will only be worse.
opasnost
The thirty-five to sixty metre range is past what most people need: work the upper edge and do not stretch down after one fish. In the cave never go where you cannot see the exit — a gun on your back snags on rock. Anything lying on the bottom along this old coast stays where it is; lifting it is illegal.
pristup
There is no shore entry: sheer rock above, water below. You come by boat from Paleokastritsa, about twenty minutes down the coast, or shorter from Liapades if you can find a hull to hire. Right at the wall it is deep under the keel with nowhere to anchor, so one man stays up top and follows the buoy.
Signature Paleokastritsa NW wall 35–60 m, boat; grouper on the drop, W-swell exposed, deep. Inside the 200 m coastal band spearfishing is banned 1 Apr–31 Oct (Corfu port authority, ΦΕΚ 3269/Β/2024).
Forget the level here, it settles nothing. The flow does: water wraps around the pinnacle and speeds up at its tips, so you drop in on the side the current comes from and come back with it. Cold water climbs the drop from below, and a couple of degrees' difference at thirty metres is normal.
zaklon
Kolovri gives you no shelter at all: a standalone rock in open water off the west coast, with sea on every side. The only lee is the downwind flank of the rock itself, and it moves as the wind moves. When Adriatic swell rolls in from west and north-west there is nowhere here to hide.
uvjeti
You go out here only on flat water or a light easterly blowing off the land, which smooths the surface. Even old dead swell from the west sets up a chop around the rock, and at thirty metres it throws you about along with the fish. This is an advanced spot: if the forecast is doubtful, stay in — there is no shore next to you.
opasnost
Thirty metres and more with no shore anywhere near: everything here rests on the boat and your partner — buoy on the water, boat under way, one diver down at a time. Lift nothing from the bottom, that is a criminal matter. And remember there is a closed underwater archaeological rectangle on the south-west of the island; a speargun has no business inside it.
pristup
Boat only. You leave from Paleokastritsa or from Liapades bay, and the run along the cliff coast takes fifteen to twenty-five minutes depending on the hull. There is nothing to tie to, so the boat waits under way and you need someone at the wheel. No shore option exists — the cliff goes straight into the water.
Famous NW deep pinnacle 30 m+, boat; dentex/amberjack/grouper on the deep edges, W/NW swell-exposed, advanced. Inside the 200 m coastal band spearfishing is banned 1 Apr–31 Oct (Corfu port authority, ΦΕΚ 3269/Β/2024).
Forget the tide table: ten to forty centimetres either way and that is all of it. Count something else: at three to five metres the water breathes with the surf and shuffles you along the stones. In autumn, after the first rains, murky fresh water comes off the cliffs and lies on top as a thin soapy layer for a day or two.
zaklon
The little cove is cut into the Liapades cliffs and looks straight west. The rock walls on either side hold the land wind and keep the water calm right against the stones, but from seaward there is no protection at all: west and north-west wave walks in undamaged and lifts sand off three metres at once.
uvjeti
You only work here on genuinely flat water. Three to fifteen metres forgives very little: let any swell in and the cove turns to milk, while the exit over round stones becomes acrobatics. An easterly off the hills is your day — then you see the bottom from the shore and the fish sit tight against the walls.
opasnost
In summer the beach is organised, with umbrellas and people in the water, and the law wants you two hundred metres clear of swimmers — so work along the cliffs away from the sand. The water taxi comes right in to the shore, so a buoy is mandatory. The rocks at the waterline are full of urchins; without boots and gloves you have no business here.
pristup
From Liapades village a narrow concrete road drops to Limni beach — steep but driveable, with a small yard and a taverna at the bottom. You enter straight off the pebble, then boulders. No long swim needed: the rock walls start some thirty metres out, and along the cliffs to the north the next coves are about ten minutes away.
NW shallow rocky cove 3–15 m under the cliffs, shore and boat; W-facing, flat days only. Inside the 200 m coastal band spearfishing is banned 1 Apr–31 Oct (Corfu port authority, ΦΕΚ 3269/Β/2024).
What moves the water here is not the tide but the flow along the channel between Corfu and the Albanian coast: it pulls steadily past the wall and firms up when the strait blows from the north. The level meanwhile swings a couple of tens of centimetres. Around eighteen to twenty metres it turns noticeably colder.
zaklon
Pantokrator rises straight behind Nissaki and kills the north-west maistro before it ever reaches the water, so this shore sits calm most of the summer. The channel is narrow and the wave has no fetch to build in. The only open sector is east and north-east, towards the Albanian shore.
uvjeti
This is the place for the days when Adriatic swell is rolling into the west coast: while Paleokastritsa is out, the water on this wall stands still. A light north-westerly only helps. East and north-east, though, push chop across the channel, the pebble at the entry clouds up and by eighteen metres it is grey.
opasnost
The channel here is a working one: ferries and yachts on the Corfu–Saranda run pass right off the wall, so a buoy is mandatory and you stay next to it. The Albanian shore is about three kilometres away — do not swim east, foreign territorial water starts sooner than you think. Keep two hundred metres off the swimmers.
pristup
A short steep turn-off drops from the Corfu–Kassiopi road down to Nissaki beach; parking is tight, so come early. You get in over the pebble right by the tavernas and you are on rock immediately, so wear boots. The wall runs along the rocky shore, five to ten minutes' swim clear of the beach.
NE-channel wall 18–30 m, sheltered and calm, shore entry; watch summer boat and ferry traffic. Inside the 200 m coastal band spearfishing is banned 1 Apr–31 Oct (Corfu port authority, ΦΕΚ 3269/Β/2024).
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
✓⚠️ MAY — a TOTAL spearfishing ban for the whole month, every year (ΠΔ 373/1985, art. 3§1α). This is law in force, not a draft.
✓No licence required: the was abolished in 2014 (Ν. 4256/2014) — every standing prohibition stays in force all the same.
•Recreational-fisher registry (ΟΣΠΑ / Μητρώο Ερασιτεχνών Αλιέων): Reg. (EU) 2023/2842 obliges member states to register recreational fishing, and the Greek registry is described as being prepared. We found neither an act in force nor a working registry as of 08.2026 — not confirmed. Check gov.gr before you travel.
✓Age: 16+ (under-16 spearfishing is forbidden; ΠΔ 373/85, art. 3§1γ).
✓Daytime only: sunrise to sunset. Night is forbidden (ΠΔ 373/85, art. 3§1β).
✓Freediving only: scuba/any air-supply apparatus is banned — it may not even be carried aboard (ΠΔ 373/85, art. 3§2γ).
✓Distances: ≥200 m from bathers, harbours, moored vessels and marked nets; no hunting in fairways or harbour entrances/exits (ΠΔ 373/85, art. 3§1δ/ε).
✓Buoy MANDATORY: a yellow float + a yellow flag with a red diagonal stripe and the letters «Υ.Δ.», visible from ≥300 m; stay within 50 m of the buoy (ΠΔ 373/85, art. 3§3).
✓Limit: 5 kg/day (or one trophy heavier than the limit). Grouper (Epinephelus) — max 1/day, not banned (ΠΔ 373/85, art. 2§2).
✓Sale/trade of the recreational catch is prohibited (ΠΔ 373/85, art. 1§7).
✓Load the speargun only in the water — never keep it loaded out of the water (ΠΔ 373/85, art. 3§2β). Underwater light while hunting is forbidden (art. 3§2ζ).
✓Sea urchins — 20/day per person and 30/day per boat (ΠΔ 373/85, art. 2§2). Nets at any stage of the hunt are banned, and you may not take the catch out of somebody else's gear or nets (art. 3§2). Sponges and corals are off limits to the recreational fisher (art. 1§6).
✓Pneumatic and band guns are ALLOWED (a myth in English guides). Only spears with an explosive/chemical charge — — are banned (ΠΔ 373/85, art. 3§2δ).
Min. sizes: seabass 25 cm · gilthead 20 cm · white seabream 23 cm · grouper 45 cm · octopus 750 g (ΠΔ 62/2024). Any fish — not under 150 g (ΠΔ 373/85, art. 3§2στ). No-size species (dentex, amberjack, barracuda, parrotfish) — the 150 g minimum only. See the species card.
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 kamenitoj obali ili obali s gromadama porast mrtvog mora od 0,5 m može onemogućiti izlazak — ostati zaglavljen/bez izlaza glavni je ubojica.
Struja na rtu: na izbočenim rtovima često postoji stalna 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.
Poslijepodnevni vjetar: na mnogim obalama vjetar jača od podneva — planiraj izlazak iz vode do podneva; 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 Corfu
Gdje se roni u podvodnom ribolovu u Corfu?
Corfu ima ulaze sa stijena poput Nissaki – The Wall, Agni Reef i Kolovri Island. Northernmost Ionian: greener, sheltered channel water on the NE (Nissaki, Agni) and dramatic deep walls on the NW (Paleokastritsa). Ispod je svaki punkt (pristup, zaklon i opasnosti) i današnja prognoza.
Koja je najbolja sezona u Corfu?
June to October (May closed nationally); the Ionian west sees far less meltemi than the Aegean, so calm windows are more frequent.
Kolika je temperatura mora u Corfu?
Softer, greener, milder water than the Aegean, tideless; good visibility but more life and a touch more colour.
Je li podvodni ribolov u Corfu pogodan za početnike?
Easy to moderate: more shelter and fewer wind days than the Aegean make the Ionian a forgiving place to dive.
Treba li dozvola u Corfu?
No paid licence is needed in Corfu — the amateur one was abolished (Law 4256/2014), but a free ΟΣΠΑ registration is being introduced (check gov.gr). Breath-hold only (no scuba), a mandatory «Υ.Δ.» buoy, 16+, daytime only, and the whole of May is closed. Note: the Zakynthos (Laganas) marine park in this region restricts/bans spearfishing — check the zone boundaries. See the guide.
Which fish can you spear in Corfu?
The species cards list 19 species with real presence in this basin; the strongest here are kirnja glavulja, zubatac, šarag, orada, lubin i lica. Minimum sizes in Greece are NATIONAL, not local: kirnja glavulja 45 cm · šarag 23 cm · orada 20 cm · lubin 25 cm · kirnja golać 45 cm · pagar 18 cm · ovčica 20 cm · hobotnica 750 g. Species with no EU size carry the 150 g floor only. Grouper (Epinephelus) — max 1/day, not banned (ΠΔ 373/85, art. 2§2).
Is spearfishing banned in May in Corfu?
Yes. May is a TOTAL spearfishing ban for the whole month, every year, across Greece (ΠΔ 373/1985, art. 3§1α) — so in Corfu too. It is law in force, not a draft, and there is no local exemption. Plan June to April.
How many kilos of fish may I keep per day in Corfu?
The daily limit is 5 kg, or one trophy heavier than the limit (ΠΔ 373/85, art. 2§2). Grouper (Epinephelus) — max 1/day. Every fish must be at least 150 g (art. 3§2στ), and selling a recreational catch is prohibited (art. 1§7). The limit is national — in Corfu it is the same as everywhere in Greece.
✓Full ban on taking: Pinna nobilis (πίννα), corals and sponges (ΠΔ 373/85, art. 1§6 + Habitats Directive 92/43).
✓Invasives: taking the lionfish (λεοντόψαρο) is encouraged — ⚠️ venomous spines. The silver-cheeked toadfish (λαγοκέφαλος) ☠️ DO NOT EAT — deadly toxin (TTX), sale banned (Reg. 853/2004, Annex III Sect. VIII Ch. V(E)), it bites. The rabbitfish (γερμανός) is edible — venomous spines.
✓In ANY declared underwater archaeological site, and in the submerged historic sites, spearfishing is BANNED — the act names ψαροντούφεκο in so many words (ΚΥΑ ΥΠΠΟ/ΓΔΑΠΚ/ΑΡΧ/Α1/Φ41/11228/1865, ΦΕΚ 336/Β/2004, part Α §2 δ + part Β). It reaches the sites our map does not draw, too. Do not touch antiquities (Ν. 3028/2002). Map of the zones — the ENALIA geoportal (thalchor-2.ypen.gov.gr/layers/geonode:ENALIA).
•The national marine parks of Alonissos/N. Sporades and Zakynthos (Laganas): spearfishing is BANNED in the park. But Alonissos zone Β4 is not solid — ΦΕΚ 1741/Β/2011 reopened four stretches inside it (the N shore Αγ. Δημήτριος–Άκρο Απύθμενο, Μηλιά–Σπαρτίνες, όρμος Κλήμα on Περιστέρα, the Μεγάλος Αδελφός shore), while the same act creates the ΕΕΑΧ Περιστέρας, where fishing IS banned. Our layer paints the park whole, i.e. stricter than the act. Check the limits with the park authority.
•The Southern Kynouria/Arcadia diving park: Ν. 4688/2020 establishes underwater parks, but we have not read a spearfishing prohibition inside it in the act — we treat that as NOT PROVEN rather than as confirmed. The park's boundary is not on our map either (the act publishes no coordinates). Ask the Leonidio/Tyros λιμεναρχείο before you go.
•Local bans: on top of the national rules, every port authority issues its own (ΓΚΛ/ΕΚΛ and λιμενάρχης decisions). In the ΛΣ-ΕΛ.ΑΚΤ registry we counted ~163 of them that reach a speargun, across 48 ports — our map does NOT draw them. Check your own port: alieia.hcg.gr/prohibitions/local/local17.php.
•Locally STRICTER than the national rule: Corfu (Kerkyra) — from 01.04 to 31.10 spearfishing is banned within 200 m of the shore, even where nobody is swimming (απόφαση Λ/Χ Κέρκυρας 2141.1/2939/2024, ΦΕΚ Β΄3269/2024). In practice that closes shore entry on Corfu for the season. We read the act in the registry, not in the ΦΕΚ — confirm with the λιμεναρχείο.
•Locally STRICTER: Lefkada — 300 m instead of 200, and not only the speargun: ψαροντούφεκο, nets and longlines are banned within 300 m of those sea areas, beaches and shores of the port district THAT ARE USED BY BATHERS (απόφαση Λ/Χ Λευκάδας 2131.13/1477/2022, in its own words «όπου χρησιμοποιούνται από λουόμενους»). The act ran to 30.09.2022 and we found no extension; an expired act is not proof that the ban is gone. Ask the Lefkada λιμεναρχείο.
•Locally STRICTER: Symi — from 15.06 to 15.09 fishing BY ANY MEANS is banned within 200 m of beach areas and in inhabited coastal areas WHERE BATHERS ARE PRESENT OR GATHER (απόφαση Λ/Χ Σύμης 2131.13/882/2016). Separately, year-round: fishing by any means is banned inside the port and its sea zone, except line/rod fishing from land (ΓΚΛ Σύμης, art. 151, ΦΕΚ 362/Β/2004). The acts were copied from the registry, not checked against the ΦΕΚ.
•Locally: inside the ports of Lavrio and Kea spearfishing is banned across the WHOLE port water, not merely under the 200 m rule; separately, in front of the hotel beaches (ΓΚΛ Λαυρίου, art. 240, ΦΕΚ 460/Β/1978). The act was copied from the registry, not checked against the ΦΕΚ.
•Coming: two new national marine parks are being created (Ionian + South Cyclades, ~27,500 km²). NOT yet in force (ΠΔ under review, mid-2026). Once live — a trawl ban + a seasonal coastal closure 15.04–31.05; in the strict zones spearfishing will be banned. Check before the season.
⛔ Pinna nobilis (πίννα, fan mussel) — full ban on taking/killing (Habitats Dir. 92/43 Annex IV; critically endangered).
Rules change, and the local Λιμεναρχείο (port authority) may impose local restrictions. Before heading out, check the current rules and the declared archaeological zones (ENALIA).
Can I spearfish on scuba in Corfu?
No. Freediving only: scuba and any air-supply apparatus are banned — they may not even be carried aboard (ΠΔ 373/85, art. 3§2γ). In Corfu the rest of the national frame applies too: 16+, daytime only, ≥200 m from bathers, harbours, moored vessels and marked nets, and a mandatory «Υ.Δ.» buoy you stay within 50 m of. Pneumatic and band guns are allowed; only powerheads are banned.
