Local context
What to expect in September
🎯 Balanced surf conditions — consistent waves and fewer surfers in the lineup Autumn in Madeira is often underrated: 25°C, golden light and declining crowds. An interesting window. Expect rain on 31% of days — a light raincoat in the bag is recommended. A good balance between weather and crowds, even if August (9.1/10) remains theoretically better.
