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,

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.

Ponta do AltarFerragudo cape / Arade mouth
opasno
mrtvo more danas bočno
prozor
Early morning in calm; never at dusk (night spearfishing is illegal and dangerous).
plima
Weak slack tide. Avoid the Arade ebb current, which pulls toward the shipping channel.
zaklon
Rocky cape on the east side of the Arade mouth, facing SSW. Sheltered from W wind by the cape itself, but fully open to S swell and surge.
opasnost
Heavy surge and shorebreak on the rocks, sinkholes/blowholes where the sea rushes under — entrapment risk. The busy Arade shipping channel is right there: ferries, cruise ships and fishing boats. High cliff, hard entry/exit.
pristup
From the dirt track by the Ponta do Altar lighthouse, scramble down to the rock shelf (no steps, no beach). Awkward rock entry.

A known cliff-fishing spot, not documented as a dive entry. Scout from land first in dead calm; stay well clear of the shipping channel. Outside the concession, but very treacherous solo.

Google Maps
Molhe Leste (Praia da Rocha breakwater)Arade river-mouth jetty
zatvoreno
danas u zavjetrini rta — mrtvo more dolazi bočno/otraga
prozor
Daylight only; night spearfishing is banned. Peak season = maximum boats, avoid.
plima
Strong tidal currents at the mouth; the ebb pulls into the channel. Slack water is essential.
zaklon
650 m breakwater at the east end of Praia da Rocha, guarding the Arade mouth. The inner (river) side is calm, the ocean side is open to S swell.
opasnost
Dominant danger is boat traffic — Ferragudo ferries, tour and fishing boats, cruise ships entering Portimão pass right by the jetty. Strong current at the mouth. Slippery, weed-covered breakwater blocks on the exit.
pristup
Walk out along the jetty from the east end of Praia da Rocha by the Santa Catarina fort; enter off the breakwater blocks. No beach ramp on the ocean side.

Popular for line-fishing off the jetty, NOT a spearing spot: concessioned beach alongside (300 m rule in season) and a busy shipping channel. Land scout only — a genuine red zone because of boats.

Praia dos Três CastelosTrês Castelos arches
zatvoreno
najbolji kandidat za danas
mrtvo more danas bočno
prozor
Early morning for calm and clarity, before the afternoon sea breeze. Season June–October.
plima
Mid-to-high water: the arches and outer walls work best on a rising/full tide; low tide exposes tunnels and sharp rock.
zaklon
South-facing cove; the rock headlands and arches break W swell and shelter from W/NW wind. Open to direct S swell.
opasnost
Rockfall from undercut limestone cliffs — don't linger under the walls. Entrapment in the arches/fissures if swell builds. Sharp rock at the entry.
pristup
Cliff stairways from the Três Castelos viewpoint (~120 steps); a rock tunnel links to Praia da Rocha. Enter off the sand, fin up at the water.

The best documented freedive site in Portimão: submerged limestone walls with sponges, moray, conger, grouper, octopus. Concessioned beach — spearfishing banned within 300 m in bathing season (Jun–Sep); off-season only and with a licence.

Google Maps
Praia do VauVau red-cliff reef
zatvoreno
mrtvo more danas bočno
prozor
Mid-morning for visibility and before the sea breeze. Summer to early autumn.
plima
Mid water at the right-side reef; high water exposes fewer sharp rocks, low water reveals pools and the reef.
zaklon
South-facing, sheltered by red cliffs; the headland to the west blocks W wind and swell. Rocks and the pinnacle on the right (west) side give cover.
opasnost
Submerged rocks across the swim zone, especially in front of the standalone pinnacle — getting slammed onto rock on the exit if swell runs. Rockfall from the unstable red cliffs.
pristup
Enter off the sand; best snorkelling is along the rocks on the right (west) side facing the sea. Parking and ramp from the Vau front.

Quieter than Rocha; the right-side rock reef holds fish. Concessioned beach — spearfishing banned within 300 m in bathing season; off-season only and with a licence.

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.
