What you’re looking at

The camera sits at Quinta do Furão on the cliff top above Santana and looks east along Madeira's north-east coast. In frame are the green headlands of the Rocha do Navio nature reserve, the open Atlantic and, on clear days, the long finger of Ponta de São Lourenço on the horizon. It is one of the widest views on the north side of the island.

Best time to check this camera

Check it first thing if you are planning Pico Ruivo from Achada do Teixeira, the Caldeirão Verde levada or a day in Santana. The north coast catches the trade-wind cloud, so a clear frame here is a genuinely good sign. White lines of surf mean a heavy north swell.

Is the north coast clear for Santana, Pico Ruivo or Caldeirão Verde?

If the view is clear:: Go north: the A-frame houses, Achada do Teixeira and the north-coast levadas are at their best.
If it’s grey or rough:: Trade-wind cloud is parked on the north; stay south and try Ponta do Sol or Machico.

Questions about this camera

Where is the Santana webcam?

It is at Quinta do Furão, a hotel and restaurant on the cliffs just north of Santana town, looking east along the north-east coast towards Rocha do Navio and Ponta de São Lourenço.

Is the north coast cloudier than Funchal?

Often, yes. The north faces the prevailing trade winds, so cloud and drizzle build here while the south coast stays sunny. This camera tells you which kind of day the north is having.
