What level is Machico for?
Machico has no fixed level, and that is the question Surf Booking answers every day: the same sea suits a beginner and does not suit an advanced surfer, or the other way round. On this page the sea at this beach is read hour by hour and by level — beginner, intermediate and advanced — for the next 7 days, and the verdict is this beach's, not the region's.
What is the bottom like at Machico?
The bottom is mixed sand and rock. It helps to know where the rocks are, especially at low tide.
When does Machico work best?
Machico works with the right mix of swell and wind on the day. The beach faces Southeast.
