About Lagos

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. Popular with beginners too. On huge swells the point can wake - during Storm Hercules Alex Botelho rode from the outside point past the rivermouth through to the beach.
