Praia Formosa Surf Guide
Praia Formosa in Madeira is an exposed point break that does not work very often. Autumn and winter are the best times of year for waves. Ideal winds are from the northeast with some shelter here from southeast winds. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the ideal swell direction is from the southwest. Waves at the point break both left and right. Good surf at all stages of the tide. Rarely crowded here. Watch out for rocks.
