Praia Formosa Kitefoil Forecast

Câmara de Lobos · Portugal

Praia Formosa scores 87/100 for kitefoil today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces SW. A roughly 2 km, SW-facing beach of dark volcanic pebble and coarse sand linking Funchal to Camara de Lobos via a coastal promenade - Madeira's largest beach complex and one of its few kiteable spots. An exposed rocky point break produces left and right waves, best on SW swell with offshore NE wind; rocks are the main hazard and kiting here is advanced-only. Blue Flag status; lifeguards cover two posts through the bathing season.
