Meia Praia Surf Guide

Just across the rivermouth from Lagos sits the long, crescent shaped beach of Meia Praia, a super sheltered stretch of sand that only really gets waves in winter swells. However when it does wake up it can be home to some surprisingly good lefts and rights, often fast and hollow.
