1418-acre Port D'Alcúdia Spain coastal fishing map with an exact official national water-body boundary, EMODnet 2024 CDI-audited Spanish hydrographic and research-survey/composite DTM contours, source-assessed fishing spots, official regional fish evidence, seasonal forage guidance, public-access review and current-rule links. Official Spanish WFD named coastal or transitional assessment water in Balearic Islands. This child is clipped to the exact source polygon and a trip-scale ownership window. Coverage classes and uncertainty limits are disclosed; this is a fishing-planning chart, not a navigation chart or catch forecast. The water tops out around 57 ft. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
The drawn water covers 1,418 acres wrapped in 7.1 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Roughly 7% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Figure 1.9 mi of water from one end to the other, 1.6 mi at the beam. Its nearest charted neighbour, Cap Pinar A Illa D’Alcanada, is 5 mi to the northeast.
Occurrence evidence does not promise a catch or establish that retention is legal. Current seasons, closures, protected species, gear rules and local restrictions always control. The roster may combine exact-water monitoring with habitat-filtered official regional evidence; it does not imply that every species is equally abundant throughout the mapped section.

Come spring, look for european seabass tight to the bank in 3 to 25 ft. Expect a summer slide to 2 to 30 ft, then a winter hold in 10 to 55 ft. Start at Deepest basin. It's a deep basin holding about 55 ft of water and rates good come winter. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A surface lure or a paddle-tail soft plastic is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Paddle-tail soft plastic, Shallow minnow plug |
| Summer | 2 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Surface lure, Paddle-tail soft plastic |
| Fall | 4 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Slim metal lure, Minnow plug |
| Winter | 10 to 55 ft | midday | Deepest basin (55 ft) | Slow soft-plastic shad, Suspending minnow |
Start shallow in spring: gilthead seabream sit in 3 to 35 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2 to 45 ft, and winter fish settle into 11 to 57 ft. The spot to know is Deepest basin, a deep basin in about 55 ft of water that rates prime for gilthead seabream in winter. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.

Spring common dentex on Port D'Alcúdia hold shallow, usually 9 to 57 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 10 to 57 ft in summer, 13 to 57 ft once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Sharp break — drop-off, 31 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 9 to 57 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (31 ft) | see map |
| Summer | 10 to 57 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (31 ft) | see map |

Start shallow in spring: red mullet sit in 5 to 55 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 3 to 57 ft; cold water stacks them in 12 to 57 ft. Top water on the chart: Deepest basin, a deep basin in the 55 ft range, prime in winter. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

Early season atlantic bonito use the shallows, holding in 9 to 57 ft. Even in summer they hold at 3 to 57 ft; winter keeps them in 13 to 57 ft. Put Deepest basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 55 ft that grades prime for winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.

When the water first warms, bluefish slide up into 3 to 20 ft. By summer they slide out to 5 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 15 to 40 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Sharp break: a drop-off around 26 ft that scores good in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a popper (early/late) or a metal jigs in the rips rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Metal (Hopkins/Kastmaster), Pencil popper |
| Summer | 5 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (26 ft) | Popper (early/late), Metal jigs in the rips |
| Fall | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & midday | Sharp break (26 ft) | Pencil popper, Big metal |
| Winter | 15 to 40 ft | midday | open water | Metal jig worked slow (southern waters) |
Port D'Alcúdia also holds greater amberjack (5 to 57 ft in summer), common sole (3 to 30 ft in summer). Pick any of them on the map above for rated spots and bait picks.
Structure-wise the chart holds 7 features, led in depth by Deepest basin at roughly 55 ft.
MITECO 2025 national bathing-water census and coastal-domain review was reviewed, but no stable government record establishes a public fishing entrance, parking or launch for this exact mapped child. This is an access-evidence gap, not a claim that public access does not exist. Verify land ownership, port and harbour rules, protected areas, local signs, parking, safety, permits and fishing permission before entry.
Private land and private launches need the owner's permission — please ask first.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Spain waters are set by the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (marine recreational fishing) — and special regulations can apply to Port D'Alcúdia specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Check Spain's live national, autonomous-community, EU and protected-area rules before every coastal trip. Licences for shore, boat and underwater fishing, PescaREC registration or reporting, protected-species authorizations, minimum sizes, quotas, closures, gear limits and marine-reserve permits can differ between exterior and interior waters and can change during the season. Recreational fishing is allowed only in specified zones of some reserves and is commonly subject to a special authorization. A WFD boundary, source-audited contour, fishing-spot marker or bathing-water record is planning context only and never grants fishing, retention, shore entry, parking, launching, port access or safe navigation permission.

Port D'Alcúdia is about 57 ft (17 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Official coastal monitoring from Spain national fisheries and coastal monitoring agencies informs the european seabass, gilthead seabream, common dentex, red mullet, atlantic bonito, bluefish, greater amberjack, common sole roster for Port D'Alcúdia. The mixed roster combines exact-water records where available with habitat-filtered regional evidence; not every species is documented at this exact water, and it is not a promise of equal abundance or a catch on a particular trip.
Deepest basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 55 ft of water that rates prime for gilthead seabream in winter. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
For european seabass, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Port D'Alcúdia is regulated by the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (marine recreational fishing). Check the official Spain regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
