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.

Praia da SamoqueiraSamoqueira (north of the village)
na granici
najbolji kandidat za danas
danas izložen mrtvom moru u lice
prozor
Mornings before the thermal NW wind (nortada) builds. Shore-dive season May to October; locals spearfish here mostly in winter.
plima
Best at low to mid tide when the rock pools and channels to the reef open up; at high water the entry rocks are awash.
zaklon
Rock ledges at the water's edge soften the swell and form natural pools at low water. Sheltered from south wind but open to W/NW Atlantic swell.
opasnost
The dominant danger is the exit over slippery rocks once swell builds — you can get pinned in the channel. Watch the sets; enter the caves only in flat conditions.
pristup
Dirt parking on the clifftop, then stone steps cut into the rock down to the water. Enter off the slabs between the rock formations.

The area's most workable rocky entry for snorkel/freedive; turquoise water over walls, cracks and caves. Inside the PNSACV park — night spearfishing banned, licence required.

Praia da Ilha do PessegueiroForte do Pessegueiro (south of the village)
opasno
danas izložen mrtvom moru u lice
prozor
Early morning before the boats run to the island. Quiet in winter; in summer it is a bathing beach with traffic out to the island.
plima
Low to mid tide exposes more reef by the fort and eases the entry; high tide swims easier but the reef sits deeper.
zaklon
Wide sandy beach backed by large rocks and the Ilha do Pessegueiro ~200 m offshore, which gives partial lee from W swell. Open to the W; sheltered from easterly wind by the land.
opasnost
The dominant danger is boat traffic in the ~200 m channel to the island: stay tight to the fort rocks and never cross open water without a dive float. The island site itself is boat-only.
pristup
Paved road and large car park by the Forte do Pessegueiro; walk down from the fort to the sand and enter off the sand beside the rocks.

The most sheltered entry around thanks to the island breaking the swell; the fort reef holds octopus and moray. In peak season it is a bathing beach — poor for spearing, plus island traffic. ⚠️ Hazard is materially incomplete/sugar-coated: Portuguese fisheries authority (DGRM) explicitly lists Ilha do Pessegueiro as a prohibited zone for recreational fishing/spearfishing ('a pesca ludica e interdita nas areas designadas como: Ilha do Pessegueiro'), and spearfishing is separately banned in navigation channels. The text frames the channel only as boat-traffic risk and encourages diving the fort rocks, omitting that spearfishing here is legally PROHIBITED - the single most important fact for a solo diver. Coords (37.8324,-8.7927) land at the fort-rocks/channel edge between the sandy beach center (37.8301,-8.7918) and the island (37.8336,-8.7978), consistent with the described entry.

Praia Grande de Porto CovoPorto Covo village
zatvoreno
danas izložen mrtvom moru u lice
prozor
Early morning outside the bathing season only. In summer it is a supervised bathing beach — in practice a scout, not a hunt.
plima
Low to mid tide exposes the side rocks and eases the shorebreak; at high tide the surf breaks closer to the seawall.
zaklon
Urban beach in a cove framed by large rocks — relatively sheltered, but it is a surf beach with noticeable waves. Sheltered from easterly wind by the village; open to W/NW.
opasnost
The dominant danger is shorebreak and rip-style return flow by the rocks as swell builds: being swept onto rock on the exit. It is a surf spot — dive float essential, stay to the edges.
pristup
Right in the village: steps from the promenade to the sand, parking nearby. The easiest approach but the busiest.

The village's main beach — useful as a fallback/scout, but busy and lifeguarded in season, so spearing is not an option then. Spearfish only in winter on the side reefs in flat seas.

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.
