Praia Formosa Surf Guide
Praia Formosa in Madeira is an exposed point break that has inconsistent surf. Autumn and winter are the optimum times of year for waves. The best wind direction is from the northeast with some shelter here from southeast winds. Most of the surf here comes from groundswells and the best swell direction is from the southwest. The point breaks offer lefts and rights. The quality of the surf isn't affected by the tide. Even when there are waves, it's not likley to be crowded. Rocks are a hazard.
