Winds will begin from the west-southwest at 31–39 km/h and increase to 51–61 km/h by the end of the day. From mid-morning, they are expected to shift to the west at 31–50 km/h.

North Coast Waves May Reach 4.5 Meters, South Coast Up to 4 Meters
Sea conditions will be rough along Madeira’s coasts. On the north coast, waves could rise from 2.5–3.5 meters to 3.5–4.5 meters. The south coast is expected to see waves of 2–3 meters, increasing to 3–4 meters, with the eastern part slightly lower at 1.5–2.5 meters. Visibility will vary between moderate and poor at times.
Public Warned to Stay Away from Coastlines and Secure Boats
Authorities are advising both maritime operators and the public to take extra care. Residents and visitors should reinforce moorings, watch anchored vessels closely, and avoid walking near the sea, especially on piers, cliffs, or beaches. Recreational fishing near cliffs or in areas hit by waves is strongly discouraged, as the sea can quickly reach zones that appear safe in calm conditions.
