Meia Praia

Meia Praia is an SSE-facing beach break in Lagos, Algarve, Portugal. It picks up swell from S to WSW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 73% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the NNW: light winds or NNW breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while SSE onshores chop it up.
