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.

najbolji kandidat za danas
danas izložen mrtvom moru u lice
prozor
Best window is early morning, before the afternoon sea breeze and the swimmers. Best visibility in summer and early autumn.
plima
Little tidal dependence (depth drops away fast off the point); low water makes the slippery-rock entry trickier.
zaklon
Madeira's south coast is sheltered from the prevailing N/NE trades by the island mass; the cove at Ponta da Cruz is further screened by the rocky headland. Open to S and SW swell.
opasnost
Main danger is the exit over sharp volcanic rock in shorebreak: as swell builds it's easy to get cut or slammed against the wall. Swimmers and snorkelers around — keep the gun unloaded at the entry. Deep water right off the shore — a solo blackout with no buddy is fatal.
pristup
Rua da Ponta da Cruz 66, western Funchal seafront (between the Lido and Praia Formosa). Steps down to the natural-pool complex, then direct access to open sea over the rocks. Showers, changing rooms and parking up top.

The westernmost Funchal entry — clearly OUTSIDE the Garajau reserve (whose west edge is Ponta do Lazareto, east of the city), so hunting is legal here. But it's a guarded bathing complex — don't shoot near the entry; move off the pools onto the rock reef.

Clube Naval do Funchal reef (Lido)Lido / Gorgulho · Reef do Clube Naval do Funchal (Lido)
zatvoreno
danas izložen mrtvom moru u lice
prozor
Early morning only — by day it's a busy bathing frontage. Best visibility in calm summer water.
plima
Weak tidal dependence; at low water the entry reef is very shallow, easier to snag or cut yourself.
zaklon
Urban Lido/Gorgulho seafront, sheltered from N/NE by the island. The reef runs east–west along the shore; little protection from southerly swell.
opasnost
The biggest issue is crowds and lifeguards: this is a surveilled bathing frontage by the Clube Naval/Lido where hunting is inappropriate and draws attention. Sharp reef on the exit in surge. Enter as a scout only — read the structure and fish, shoot further west.
pristup
Water access by the Clube Naval do Funchal / Lido complex, Rua do Gorgulho. Steps and platforms straight onto the reef, showers and changing rooms alongside. The easiest reef entry in the city.

A documented dive-school 'home reef' (east–west reef off the Clube Naval, plenty of fish) — but a public, surveilled swim zone. Use it for scouting/freediving and hunt on the Ponta da Cruz rocks to the west.

Google Maps
Praia FormosaSão Martinho
zatvoreno
danas izložen mrtvom moru u lice
prozor
Early morning outside bathing season only — by day and in summer the beach is packed. Visibility is best in calm summer water, but urban runoff after rain kills it.
plima
Cleaner entry at high tide; low water exposes more slippery pebble and a stronger backwash.
zaklon
Long pebble-and-dark-sand beach on the south coast, sheltered from N/NE wind by the island. Almost no protection from southerly swell — an open arc of shore.
opasnost
Shorebreak and backwash on coarse pebble — knocks you off your feet on exit. City runoff clouds the water. It's a guarded bathing beach with buoys and lifeguards — effectively a no-hunt zone; treat it as a calm-day fallback entry, not a shooting spot.
pristup
Central Funchal, São Martinho; the promenade links to the Lido and Doca do Cavacas. Ramps to the beach, showers, changing rooms, parking and cafes. The easiest walk-in entry in the city.

Madeira's largest beach and a guarded swim zone — works as a flat-calm fallback entry for freediving/scouting; for actual hunting move west to the Ponta da Cruz rocks. ⚠️ Longitude -16.943 is ~750m too far east (true ~-16.951, OSM beach 32.6392,-16.9512; -16.943 lands between Cavacas and Clube Naval, not at Formosa). Hazard downplayed: omits the documented strong undertow/under-currents that make Praia Formosa locally known as one of the most dangerous places to swim, plus frequent red-flag closures (spring tides/rough surf) and documented drownings (e.g. body found Jan 2024). Framing it as a benign 'calm-day fallback entry' sugar-coats a known dangerous-current beach for a solo diver.

Google Maps

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 Funchal

Where can I spearfish in Funchal?

Funchal has rock entry points such as Doca do Cavacas, Praia Formosa and Clube Naval do Funchal reef (Lido). Madeira's capital on the leeward south coast — sheltered from north swell, with deep blue water and volcanic drop-offs close in. Below you'll find each spot (access, shelter and hazards) and today's forecast.

When is the best season in Funchal?

Most of the year, best from late spring to autumn. Deep, blue, clear water with rocky entries — work the side sheltered from the day's swell.

How cold is the water in Funchal?

Warm for the Atlantic: ~18–23 °C. A 3 mm suit in summer, 5 mm in winter. Clear, deep water right off the rock.

Is Funchal good for a beginner?

Intermediate and up: clear but deep water right off the rock, with little shallow shelf. Apnea comfort and reading current help.

Do I need a licence in Funchal?

Yes — in Funchal you need the region's own recreational fishing licence (the mainland one isn't valid here); spearfishing is breath-hold only (no scuba) and needs a marker buoy. Check the regional rules — see the guide.
