About

It's cool, it's world class! It's only for expert, and it's good also for a crazy tow-in session!

Atmosphere:
Madeira is a nice place for vacation and surfing, the atmosphere is good, and there at least 10 hard local surfers and 20 medium/beginner surfers in all the island, so waves are not crowded.
When this spot works, if you're not an expert, it's better if you look from the land the other sufers who came from all the world to take(sometimes with tow-in) these very big and powerful waves!

Additional Info:
Since a huge number of groins has been put on the beach (in order to create a new concrete path), the wave is not working well any more. Backwash...

The main reason people come to Madeira is to surf Jardim do Mar, a serious, world class, big wave spot. It can hold huge rights and is obviously a dangerous spot. This long workable walls have tube section for the brave(or tha kamikaze!), while most mere mortals are happy to take the survival line. Being caught inside by the big sneaker sets at Jardim do Mar is a punishing experience.
Another punishment is trying to get in and out of the water, by clambering over sharp boulders between set!
