Surf Guiding in Madeira

Welcome to Madeira, Portugal’s wild Atlantic island where dramatic cliffs meet powerful swell and uncrowded breaks offer pure surfing escape. Known for its volcanic landscapes, crystal-clear water, and raw natural beauty, Madeira is a paradise for adventurous surfers who want to ride off the beaten path. With a coastline shaped by ancient lava flows and open to consistent North Atlantic swell, this is one of Europe’s last true surf frontiers, now made accessible with the local insight of OCEAN FEVER’s Surf Guiding package.

Enjoy 6 days of Guided Surf Sessions with an experienced local surfer who knows the island’s unique conditions inside out. From point breaks to volcanic reef setups and hidden beach breaks, each session is carefully chosen based on swell, tide, and wind. With the island’s geography offering multiple exposures, you’ll discover everything from playful longboard waves to punchier, more technical spots, always with guidance, safety, and stoke at the heart of the journey.

The water temperatures in Madeira sit comfortably between 18°C and 24°C, and air temps range from 18°C in winter to over 30°C in summer, meaning perfect conditions year-round. This isn’t a trip where you’re stuck in the same spot, this is wave-hunting in its purest form, and every day brings a new backdrop, a new challenge, and another unforgettable ride.

Your home for the week is the well-appointed Dom Pedro Madeira Ocean Beach Hotel, perfectly located in Machico Bay on the island’s east coast. Just steps from the beach and surrounded by green hills and sea views, this 4-star hotel offers comfort, convenience, and a laid-back vibe ideal for surfers. Rooms are bright and modern with Wi-Fi, satellite TV, balconies, and all the comforts you need to recover after a long day in the water. The hotel also features a large saltwater pool, relaxing lounges, and a restaurant serving fresh local cuisine.

Beyond the surf, Madeira offers a wealth of exploration, from mountain trails and waterfalls to natural lava pools and charming towns. Spend your downtime hiking through laurel forests, visiting local markets, or soaking in the quiet beauty of this extraordinary island. With fewer crowds, authentic Portuguese culture, and breathtaking terrain, Madeira is more than just a surf trip, it’s a full sensory escape.

With OCEAN FEVER’s Surf Guiding in Madeira, you’re not just chasing waves, you’re immersing yourself in an island built for adventure. With expert guidance, world-class scenery, and comfortable accommodation, it’s time to surf differently. The Atlantic is calling.
