Praia da Alagoa

Praia da Alagoa is an NNE-facing beach break in Porto da Cruz, Madeira, Madeira, Portugal. It picks up swell from ENE to E and WNW to NE, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 36% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the SSW: light winds or SSW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while NNE onshores chop it up.
