    Editor’s Comments

    Meio da Joaquina (Joaquina middle beach) handles almost any swell, but the best conditions are E swell with NE wind or W wind. The waves usually offer several sections alternating long walls with barrels.

    It’s a very good option for a quiet and no-hassle surf session.
