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.

Vidljivost i što je određuje — bistrenje nakon oluje, riječni nanos, temperatura i termoklina.

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.

Now live: 1152 spots across 189 stretches of coast — mainland Portugal, Madeira and the Azores.

najbolji kandidat za danas
danas izložen mrtvom moru u lice
prozor
Early morning (calm before the sea breeze), summer to early autumn when swell drops and water warms slightly. Water is cold regardless — 5–7 mm suit.
plima
Low-to-mid tide on the push: more exposed rock to enter on and the reef sits closer. At high water the rocks cover and entry gets harder.
zaklon
Almost no shelter: an open Atlantic headland. The north side of the rocks gives slight cover from a southerly, but nothing against the prevailing NW swell.
opasnost
Shorebreak slamming the rock platforms on exit is the dominant danger — it traps you if swell builds even slightly. Cold water and currents along the headland. Slippery-rock entry and exit.
pristup
Park by the Boa Nova lighthouse / Casa de Chá; walk down to the rock platforms on either side of the sandy pocket. Enter from the lee side of the rocks.

The best rocky-reef entry on this coast: the offshore 'Pelo Negro' reef (8–21 m, canyon walls) runs out from this headland. Scout from land first — the rock exit is everything.

Castelo do Queijo / Fort of São Francisco XavierGranite promontory (Porto border) · Castelo do Queijo / Forte de São Francisco Xavier
opasno
mrtvo more danas bočno
prozor
Early morning in a rare calm summer window. Otherwise, land scouting only.
plima
Low tide exposes more granite platforms to enter from, but also the shallow teeth under the break. Enter only on a calm low water.
zaklon
Exposed granite promontory at the Porto–Matosinhos line — almost no shelter, waves hit from several sides. The nook north of the fort is slightly calmer.
opasnost
Rough cold sea over granite teeth: shorebreak on the rocks at exit and risk of being thrown onto / wedged in stone as swell builds. Awkward slippery rock entry; boat traffic near the Leixões harbour mouth.
pristup
Park by the fort on Av. Montevideu; drop to the small rocky beach/platforms at the base of the promontory. Enter on the north, lee side.

Technically on the Porto border (Nevogilde/Foz), but it is the nearest southern rocky promontory of this stretch: documented as a fishing rock with awkward rock entry. Scout from land first.

Praia da Meia Laranja (rocks by the tidal pools)Rocks by the Leça tidal pools · Praia da Meia Laranja (rocks by Piscina das Marés)
zatvoreno
danas izložen mrtvom moru u lice
prozor
Early morning outside bathing season (the pools open Jun–Sep with lifeguards and crowds). In summer go before 9 am.
plima
Low tide: rock ledges and pools are exposed, safer entry. At high water there are bathers and shorebreak on the rocks.
zaklon
Open west-facing shore with almost no swell shelter. The rock ledges damp the wave right at the edge, but this is a bathing beach, not a refuge.
opasnost
Chief issue: a guarded bathing zone beside a National Monument (the tidal pools) — hunting among bathers is banned and inappropriate. Plus shorebreak on the rocks and murky water.
pristup
From the Leça seafront promenade, drop to the rocky Meia Laranja section just south of the pools. Park along Av. da Liberdade.

More a fallback/scout than a hunting spot: monument and bathing zone adjacent. Fine for snorkel/training as a bad-day backup, not for shooting in a crowd.

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 Matosinhos / Leça da Palmeira

Where can I spearfish in Matosinhos / Leça da Palmeira?

Matosinhos / Leça da Palmeira has rock entry points such as Boa Nova headland / Leça lighthouse, Praia da Meia Laranja (rocks by the tidal pools) and Castelo do Queijo / Fort of São Francisco Xavier. An exposed urban Atlantic shore of breakwaters and rock — the training ground for Porto-metro dive clubs. Below you'll find each spot (access, shelter and hazards) and today's forecast.

When is the best season in Matosinhos / Leça da Palmeira?

The window is narrow: mainly summer (June–September), when the NW eases. The rest of the year the Atlantic swell shuts almost everything down.

How cold is the water in Matosinhos / Leça da Palmeira?

Cold: ~14–18 °C, with upwelling dropping it even in summer. Expect a 7 mm suit + hood, gloves and boots for most of the year.

Is Matosinhos / Leça da Palmeira good for a beginner?

It's demanding: a cold, exposed, big-swell coast with rare windows. For experienced divers who can read the sea — not a place to start.

Do I need a licence in Matosinhos / Leça da Palmeira?

Yes — in Matosinhos / Leça da Palmeira, 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.
