It’s located at the northeastern corner of Madeira, the Portuguese island, in the municipality of Machico. In this place you’ll feel that life has stopped. You should taste ‘vinho seco americano’, a local dry red wine made of ‘americana’, which is a type of grape. Follow the steam that is coming out and you will find a 26 m/85 ft height tower. But don’t be confused, you don’t find Rapunzel, only sugar cane. It’s an old factory since 1927 and it’s still working in the same way. Feel like a bird, or sing with them by getting on Penha d’ Aguia, an imperial rock that separates Porto da Cruz from Faial, a civil parish in the municipality of Santana, in Madeira.
But, let’s come back to your therapy. In Porto da Cruz beach, the reef-rocky waves are normal. The swell size starts working at less than 1 m (3 ft) and holds up to 2.5 m+ (8 ft+). The north and south is the best wind direction, and for swell the north direction. In autumn, the waves swell size is from 1.3 to 3 m (4-10 ft) and the wind blows onshore at 60%. In spring, we have the same swell size as in autumn and the wind blows onshore 62%. In winter, most of the time the waves are from 2 to 3 m (6.5-10 ft) and the wind blows onshore at 47%. In summer the waves swell size is from 1.3 to 2 m (4-6.5 ft) and the wind blows onshore at 80%.
