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.

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

Cabo de Santo André / Praia de Dois CabosAver-o-Mar
opasno
danas izložen mrtvom moru u lice
prozor
Daylight only, in the calmest window (usually early morning). Cold Costa Verde water — best viz late spring to autumn.
plima
Low water exposes the most reef structure of the cape but also worsens the shorebreak and entrapment risk against the rocks; mid-tide on the flood is safer for the exit.
zaklon
Essentially none: the granitic-gneiss cape is the most prominent, exposed structure on the coast and catches swell from every westerly direction. The tiny Dois Cabos beach is wedged between the large rocks of the cape.
opasnost
Entrapment against the cape rocks as swell builds and strong currents around the prominent point — a lethal scenario solo. A rising set cuts off the rock exit. Scout from land first.
pristup
On foot along the coastal marginal between Quião and Fragosinho to the cape rocks; enter off the tiny Dois Cabos beach between the large rocks. No easy exit — plan your retreat.

The best hard-bottom structure for sargo/robalo in the whole area, but also the most dangerous; the exact entry point is undocumented — scout from land first.

Google Maps
Praia VerdeCity centre / Póvoa de Varzim
zatvoreno
danas izložen mrtvom moru u lice
prozor
Early morning only, before bathers and traffic — this is a busy urban beach. Best viz late spring to autumn. Daylight only.
plima
Low-to-mid tide exposes the centre and south rocks and the embedded old ruins — structure that holds fish; watch the exit rocks at low water.
zaklon
Rock formations in the centre and south of the beach give some structure and break the wave in places, but this is an open urban seafront with no real shelter from NW swell.
opasnost
Busy Blue-Flag swimming beach: in summer hunting in the bathing zone is banned and a genuine conflict with swimmers; plus shorebreak onto the centre/south rocks and embedded ruins as swell builds.
pristup
Access from Avenida Vasco da Gama or Avenida dos Banhos, right in the town centre; enter off the sand toward the centre/south rocks.

Urban beach — handy for a scout and breath-hold training, but secondary as a hunting entry; in summer avoid the bathing zone and stay outside 50 m of swimmers.

Google Maps
Praia do QuiãoAver-o-Mar
zatvoreno
najbolji kandidat za danas
danas izložen mrtvom moru u lice
prozor
Early morning before the thermal wind builds; best viz late spring to autumn (cold Costa Verde water). Daylight only — night spearfishing is banned.
plima
Low-to-mid tide opens up the rock clusters and reef; the rich tide-pool life is exposed at low water. Avoid a low-tide bottom with swell against the exit rocks.
zaklon
Rock clusters break the swell into four small coves of calmer water and give some lee from a southerly wind behind the outcrops. There is no real shelter from the dominant NW Atlantic swell on this open coast.
opasnost
Rip currents along the rock fingers and shorebreak onto the exit rocks as swell builds are the dominant danger; on this cold, open Atlantic it is easy to overcommit. Time entries and exits to the lull between sets.
pristup
Drop in via Rua da Praia do Quião or Rua do Sargaceiro; park by the beach and enter off the sand between rock fingers into a calmer cove.

The wildest, least-crowded stretch of the Póvoa coast, south of Cabo de Santo André; traditional seaweed harvesting. Stay outside 50 m of the supervised swimming zone (summer: Jun 15 – Sep 15).

Google Maps
Praia do Fragosinho (Farol)Aver-o-Mar
zatvoreno
danas izložen mrtvom moru u lice
prozor
Early morning before the wind and before the fishing boats head out; best viz late spring to autumn. Daylight only.
plima
Mid-tide — the rocky flanks work as shelter and the sand entry stays clean; at a big low the end rocks are exposed. Entering on the flood is calmer.
zaklon
Two rocky flanks form a cove (the old Portinho da Fragosa) with notably calmer water — the best natural shelter on this coast. From a direct NW swell the flanks only partly protect.
opasnost
Active fishing-boat traffic through the cove mouth (a historic fishing portinho) — fly a dive float and never surface in the channel. Plus shorebreak onto the rocky flanks as swell builds.
pristup
Drop in via Avenida dos Pescadores or Rua do Agro Velho; park in the northern section and enter off the sand inside the cove between the rocky flanks.

The most sheltered entry in the area and therefore the best plan B; in summer it is a supervised beach (Jun 15 – Sep 15), stay outside 50 m of the swimming zone and watch for boats.

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 Póvoa de Varzim

Where can I spearfish in Póvoa de Varzim?

Póvoa de Varzim has rock entry points such as Praia do Quião, Cabo de Santo André / Praia de Dois Cabos and Praia do Fragosinho (Farol). A fishing town on the exposed west coast: sand mixed with rock fields, visibility swell-dependent. Below you'll find each spot (access, shelter and hazards) and today's forecast.

When is the best season in Póvoa de Varzim?

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 Póvoa de Varzim?

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 Póvoa de Varzim 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 Póvoa de Varzim?

Yes — in Póvoa de Varzim, 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.
