Contreira

Located in Madeira, Contreira is a reef break that delivers its best waves during autumn and winter. The north-northwest swells create the ideal conditions, while offshore winds from the south enhance the surf. This spot features a left-hand reef break with no beach access, making it a unique challenge. Surfers should be cautious of rocks in the lineup, though crowds are rarely an issue. The water temperature stays moderate at around 19°C.
