Surfing in Madeira Island

Surfing in Madeira Island: known as the Hawaii of the Atlantic, Madeira meets all the necessary conditions for an adrenaline rush while surfing its excellent waves!

In Madeira Island you will find all kinds of waves, from point breaks to reef breaks. These excellent waves are also generated by the rugged and steep coast and the rocks on the seabed, causing great water outflows.

The coasts of Jardim do Mar, Paul do Mar, Porto da Cruz and São Vicente offer challenging waves that call for a day of surfing. In some of these locations there are schools that will ease first timers into this sport where you can book Surf Lesson or Rent Surf Gear.

The best surf spots in Madeira are located in the western coast of the main island. The Madeira Surfing Association released a pocket guide with the island’s top 11 wave peaks.
