Additional Information
Meco produces a nice Wedge, closed to the Sand, the wave is very powerfull, and the rips are tricky, but when it fully develops, believe me it looks like Praia do Norte at Nazaré!

Surf naked - This is a nudism beach. You can surf naked and nobody bothers you. Is there anything better...

- If you want a consistent wave go to Caparica, were you can find also crowd, polution, traffic, nasty locals... If your looking for soul surfing go to Meco! It may not be perfect, I admit, but there you can find peace and solitude.
