Right pointExpertMixed
The wall, west Madeira
A boulder point on the west of Madeira, not the Algarve. Jardim do Mar is a right that runs along the rock wall, a village under the cliff, a takeoff that is not a first morning. The road hangs above it. The Atlantic is the same ocean as Portugal, a different island.
When.
October to March
Northwest swell in winter. A small day is just the village shore.
Worth knowing.
- 1. This is not the Algarve and it is not Ericeira. Different island, different rock.
- 2. The wall is close. Watch a set from the village before you commit.
- 3. Winter is the window. Summer is often the swim.
- 4. Ponta do Pargo is the next name along the cliffs. Funchal is the airport.
Go.
Before you paddle.
- 1. Check local conditions before entering
- 2. Always surf with a buddy
- 3. Know your limits and skill level
- 4. Watch for rip currents
- 5. Respect local surfers and rules
