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.

Forte de São João Baptista (Praia do Forno)Mouth of the Rio Ave / fort headland
na granici
danas izložen mrtvom moru u lice
prozor
Early morning with offshore E/NE wind; outside bathing season on the rocky sector.
plima
Low water exposes the rocky outcrops by the fort; avoid strong ebb right at the river bar.
zaklon
The fort headland gives partial cover from N wind and N swell; open to W/SW.
opasnost
Dominant danger is the Rio Ave bar current plus fishing-boat traffic at the harbour entrance. Cold, often murky water.
pristup
From the fort/Praia do Forno promenade, enter off the sand beside the rocks; parking at the fort.

The town's most defined rock, but it is the mouth of a busy fishing port — scout from land and stay clear of the channel.

Google Maps
Praia da Senhora da GuiaUrban beachfront north of the Ave mouth
zatvoreno
danas izložen mrtvom moru u lice
prozor
Early morning off-season; in bathing season (lifeguards 15 Jun–15 Sep) it is a busy swimming beach — not a place to hunt.
plima
Low tide — the rocks form natural pools; work the edges of the exposed reef.
zaklon
Notably sheltered from N wind (known for being calm); open to W swell.
opasnost
Shallow outcrops and shorebreak on the reef edges at the ebb; cold water ~14–16°C; crowded swimming beach.
pristup
Easy walk-in from the urban front between the Senhora da Guia chapel and the fort; free parking.

The safest entry into the rocky sector for a low-tide scout — but it is a family swimming beach, only outside season and bathers. ⚠️ Real place, exact coord match (41.3405,-8.7503), lifeguarded bathing beach. BUT hazard is DOWNPLAYED for a solo diver: this is 'Barra da Senhora da Guia' — it sits directly ON the Rio Ave river bar, the same bar-current/estuary-outflow + fishing-boat-traffic danger explicitly flagged for the adjacent spot [0]. A documented multi-person near-drowning (group swept at the bar exit) happened here. The card mentions only 'shallow outcrops and shorebreak... crowded swimming beach' (medium) and omits the river-bar current entirely — the dominant solo hazard at a river mouth.

Google Maps
Praia de MindeloMindelo coast (protected landscape)
zatvoreno
danas izložen mrtvom moru u lice
prozor
Early morning with offshore wind; hunt the rare calm days of late summer / early autumn.
plima
Low tide exposes the rocky patches; the wave gets more dangerous on the incoming tide.
zaklon
Unusually for the north, sheltered from N wind; fully open to NW/W/SW swell.
opasnost
Rip currents are real here — documented rescues at neighbouring Azurara and Árvore/campsite; hollow shorebreak close in. NOT solo without a scout.
pristup
From Mindelo village down dune paths to the beach; parking at the accesses, enter off the sand.

Locals mention spearfishing here, but it is mostly sand inside a protected landscape (Mindelo reserve) — scout from land first and respect the area.

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 Vila do Conde

Where can I spearfish in Vila do Conde?

Vila do Conde has rock entry points such as Forte de São João Baptista (Praia do Forno), Praia da Senhora da Guia and Praia de Mindelo. Open Atlantic, west-facing: murky after swell, clearer in summer. Below you'll find each spot (access, shelter and hazards) and today's forecast.

When is the best season in Vila do Conde?

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 Vila do Conde?

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 Vila do Conde 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 Vila do Conde?

Yes — in Vila do Conde, 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.
