35,095-acre Puerto De Gandia - Cabo De San Antonio. North West 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 Spanish Mediterranean Coast. 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 150 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. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
On the chart, Puerto De Gandia - Cabo De San Antonio - North West draws 35,088 acres inside 31 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.2 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. 2% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Tip to tip the water measures near 9.9 mi with a 7.5-mi widest point. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Costa Norte De València - South, 35 mi north of here.
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.

Spring puts european seabass in skinny water — 3 to 25 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 30 ft, wintering in 10 to 55 ft. Fall european seabass concentrate at Shoreline point, a good-rated point around 11 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A surface lure or a paddle-tail soft plastic covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (11 ft) | Paddle-tail soft plastic, Shallow minnow plug |
| Summer | 2 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (11 ft) | Surface lure, Paddle-tail soft plastic |
| Fall | 4 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (11 ft) | Slim metal lure, Minnow plug |
| Winter | 10 to 55 ft | midday | open water | Slow soft-plastic shad, Suspending minnow |
Spring gilthead seabream on Puerto De Gandia - Cabo De San Antonio - North West hold shallow, usually 3 to 35 ft. By summer they slide out to 2 to 45 ft, and by winter most fish are in 20 to 100 ft. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening.

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 Puerto De Gandia - Cabo De San Antonio - North West 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.

Puerto De Gandia - Cabo De San Antonio - North West is about 150 ft (46 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 Puerto De Gandia - Cabo De San Antonio - North West. 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.
Sharp break is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 25 ft of water that rates prime for common dentex in summer. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every 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.
