Surf Break: Madeiro

Name: Madeiro
Type: beach
Reliability: inconsistent
Best Swell: SE Offshore Wind: WSW

Madeiro in Rio Grande Do Norte is an exposed beach break that does not work very often. Winter and spring are the best times of year to visit. Works best in offshore winds from the west southwest. Most of the surf here comes from groundswells and the best swell direction is from the southeast. The beach break provides left and right handers. Good surf at all stages of the tide. Rarely crowded here. Dangerous rips are a hazard of surfing here.
