About Meio
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NW (326°), so it takes swell from the NW. The wind blows offshore from the SE (146°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up, because of a steep sea floor. It works in 3–15 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very steeply: 10 m deep about 50 m out (1 in 1). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hard and thick, like a slab. The sea is about 27°C in July, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in March, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually January, February, March and April, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Vila Dos Remedios, 0.4 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 7 surf spots.
Water about 27°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
