Praia Formosa Surf Guide
Praia Formosa in Madeira is an exposed point break that has unreliable waves. Autumn and winter are the best times of year for waves. The best wind direction is from the northeast with some shelter here from southeast winds. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the best swell direction is from the southwest. The point break provides left and right handers. The quality of the surf isn't affected by the tide. Even when there are waves, it's not likley to be crowded. Submerged rocks are a hazard.
