Frequently asked questions

Are there jellyfish at Garrucha today?

We show the jellyfish sightings people report from the beach itself. Each report stays visible for 48 hours and is grouped by how recent it is, so you can tell a sighting from a couple of hours ago from one made the day before. No recent report for Garrucha does not mean the water is clear: it only means nobody has reported anything.

What is the best time of day to visit Garrucha?

The page splits the day into hours and marks the most favourable stretches for Garrucha based on forecast wind, gusts and waves. Morning and afternoon often differ, especially with an easterly. The recommended window sits next to the forecast for whichever day you pick.

How warm is the water at Garrucha?

We publish the forecast sea surface temperature for Garrucha, sourced from Open-Meteo. It describes the surface layer only: in coves with currents or cold-water inflows the water can feel noticeably colder when you get in.

How often is Garrucha updated?

The page is rebuilt at least once an hour with the latest available forecast, and it warns you in a box of its own when the data has gone too long without refreshing. Everything here is advisory and never replaces the flag flown at the beach, the lifeguards or local signage.
