It is an extremely
picturesque rich cultural island, rising sheer out of
the ocean, and generations of local people have moulded
its cliffs into an amazing system of fertile terraces
full of flowering trees. The surf of Madeira is an experience
to be cherished with powerful uncrowded waves offering
a real chance
to test yours skills to the fullest with the full force
of the Atlantic.
Madeira only has one small wave spot everything else
tends to break in the region of +6ft and a misconception
of inconsistent waves is perhaps due to the lack of
knowledge of those writing articles on the destination.
The fact is that breaks do not come alive until a size
of magnitude hits the islands.... that says it all!
As with most of the European and North West African
coastline, Madeira is exposed to the NW Swells that
power across the Atlantic from October to April each
year, however the better months are November to February.
You must like most big wave spots expect the swell to
rise and fall with great speed, you may start in 6ft
and end up in 15ft surf with in 2 hours!
