Meia Praia Kitebeach

Meia Praia is a sheltered beach break located on the southern Portuguese coast near Lagos, characterized by a long sandy beach facing south toward open Atlantic waters. The spot features a protected lagoon system behind the beach with shallow warm water suitable for progression, separated from deeper ocean swells by sandbars. The geography provides natural wind funneling from easterly and westerly directions along the coast. With prevailing light wind conditions (5.8 knots average) and modest wave heights (0.65m), this spot suits beginners and early intermediate kiters seeking consistent, forgiving conditions. The shallow lagoon areas allow riders to practice in controlled environments before venturing to open water. Access is straightforward from nearby residential areas. Kiters should monitor tidal changes affecting water depth and sandbar positions, and be aware of the estuary dynamics that create variable current patterns. Summer months typically offer the most stable conditions.
