Madeira
The autonomous region of Madeira is located about 750km southwest of Portugal’s mainland and about 400km north of Tenerife. Besides stunning landscapes to be explored, Madeira offers excellent surf, the best spots are considered on the west side of the island and during winter swells can get quite big. In addition the island hosts a few point breaks and also beginner friendly spots.
Reef Break
Reef Breaks have the capacity to produce consistent waves, flawlessly rolling in one after another. The coral reef or rocky bottom is where the wave breaks. Since the bottom of a reef break is not likely to vary compared to a beach break, the wave will almost certainly break over the reef in the same way practically every time. The two key elements that affect how waves break over a reef are swell direction and tide.
