Just Surf in Madeira

Set your course for Madeira, Portugal’s wild Atlantic island where rugged cliffs, black-sand beaches, and powerful waves create a surf setting unlike any other in Europe. Often called the “Hawaii of the Atlantic,” Madeira offers a raw and untamed surfing experience best suited for those who already know their way around a lineup. If you’re travelling with your own board and a hunger to explore freely, this trip is your invitation to paddle out on your own terms.

The OCEAN FEVER Just Surf package is designed for surfers who want total flexibility, with airport transfers tailored to surf travel and accommodation steps from the sea, but no structured lessons or guiding. You bring the knowledge, the gear, and the passion, we provide the perfect launchpad. This package is ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers looking to discover the island’s wave-rich coastline at their own pace.

Madeira’s north and east coasts offer a mix of punchy point breaks, volcanic reef setups, and powerful beach breaks. From Jardim do Mar’s long lefts to the playful peaks at Machico and Paul do Mar, there’s no shortage of variety, especially when you’re free to chase the conditions. Water temperatures range from 18°C to 24°C, and the air stays comfortably between 18°C and 30°C year-round, making this a consistent and exciting destination for wave-hungry explorers.

Your base is the elegant Dom Pedro Madeira Ocean Beach Hotel, perched in Machico Bay on the island’s scenic east coast. The hotel offers easy access to several nearby surf spots and is the perfect retreat after a day in the waves. Enjoy bright, ocean-facing rooms with private balconies, satellite TV, Wi-Fi, and all the comforts you need to relax and recharge. The hotel also features a large saltwater pool, sun terraces, a fitness centre, and a restaurant serving up fresh, locally sourced meals.

Outside the surf, Madeira invites exploration, from volcanic trails and lush mountain hikes to natural lava pools and charming villages. Whether you’re catching dawn patrol barrels or watching the sun dip below the Atlantic with a cold drink in hand, this trip is about freedom, discovery, and deep connection to the sea.

With OCEAN FEVER’s Just Surf Madeira, you’re not following a program, you’re writing your own surf story. Come experience the magic of island surf life, without limits.
