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.

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.

Prognoza je plan.
Odluka je na stijeni.

Modeli određuju prozor. Hoćeš li ući, čita se tek na vodi: broji setove, prati udar mora na ulazu. Ako sumnjaš, ne ulaziš.

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.

Red snapper: state-set season (typically May–Oct), 2–4/day, 15–16″.
sheepshead
Archosargus probatocephalus · 2–15 m · dopušteno
flounder
Paralichthys spp. · 1–20 m · dopušteno
cobia (ling)
Rachycentron canadum · 3–30 m · dopušteno
Texas: spear NONGAME only (sheepshead/flounder); gamefish (red drum/seatrout/cobia) pole-and-line only.

Zakon

✓Saltwater licence (+endorsement) per state: FL $17/$47, AL res $30, MS ~$13/$30, LA res $32, TX licence + saltwater endorsement.
✓Texas: spear only (sheepshead/flounder); gamefish (red drum/seatrout/cobia) pole-and-line only.
✓Red snapper: state-set season. Federal reef waters: spear + allowed outside the stressed area, descending device required.

⛔ 🚫 Goliath/Nassau grouper, Gulf sturgeon, sawfish, sea turtles, mammals and many sharks — take prohibited.
⛔ ⚠️ Texas & Alabama: gamefish (red drum/seatrout) pole-and-line only, NOT by spear. : banned in FL/TX, allowed in federal waters outside the stressed area.

US spearfishing law is state-by-state. License, spearable species, powerhead rules and distances vary; federal sanctuaries (Gray's Reef, the Keys, Flower Garden Banks) ban spearfishing. Always confirm with the state agency and local ordinances.

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. On a rocky/boulder shore a 0.5 m rise in swell can make the exit impossible — getting pinned/unable to climb out is the main killer.
Headland rip: prominent points often have 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.
Afternoon wind: on many coasts the wind builds from midday — plan to be out of the water by midday; 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 Gulf Shores

Where can I spearfish in Gulf Shores?

Gulf Shores has rock entry points such as Eco 16-W01, Eco 13-W01 and Agg 19-01. Alabama's nearshore eco-reefs sit just 5-12 km out in the largest US artificial-reef program - shallow, clear and easy freedive for snapper and triggerfish. Below you'll find each spot (access, shelter and hazards) and today's forecast.

When is the best season in Gulf Shores?

Apr–Oct; the largest US artificial-reef program, non-gamefish only.

How cold is the water in Gulf Shores?

Warm, 22–29 °C; murky nearshore, clear on the offshore reefs.

Is Gulf Shores good for a beginner?

Intermediate/offshore: the 400+ Shipp reef-zone sites shine, .gpx coords are public.

Do I need a licence in Gulf Shores?

Yes — in Gulf Shores, 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.
