Porto Santo · 9 km de Areia Dourada — Reef Mechanics, Channels & Wind Shadow

The archipelago's best-kept secret: whenever an East/Southeast swell hits or a big NW swell wraps around Ponta da Calheta, prevailing North winds groom 9 km of golden sandbars.

起乘警示: 浅礁上陡峭跌落。失误摔倒时请尽量平身向远离暗礁方向弹出。

Beach & Reef Bottom Profile

涌浪形态动力 (沙滩浪点 (沙底)): 11秒以上的长周期涌浪在触及海底火山岩架时立即发生折射，将高达 175 kJ 的波浪推力精准汇聚于起乘区域，且浪壁剥落平整。相邻的深水回流水道排水顺畅，避免冲浪者被暗流拖入落浪冲击区。
