This is that special kitesurf holiday place, where the wind never lets you down and where you find great conditions for every type of riding style and level. The wind blows strong, but smooth, and will not let you rest, if you don’t want to, during the long season. And, as if this is not good enough, additionally, you will have plenty of space on water for your enjoyment. Say hello to endless golden beaches of Brazil, the true kitesurf paradise.

And if you would like to discover a gem, we invite you to Lagoinha. A small village, where life is still sweet and pleasant, with a variety of kitesurfing conditions at its best. Constant winds will welcome you from July until February, blowing from 20 to 28 knots.

Kitesurfing in Lagoinha is fantastic – nice wave spots, beach breaks, and great flat water lagoon 3km downwind. Truly a complete menu of different conditions, all at their best, never crowded, and accompanied by perfect steady wind, which blows 18-28 knots or even more, all day in weather conditions of 25-27°C ocean and 26-32°C air temperature.

Lagoinha Bay

The best area to kitesurf right below the village starts in front of the restaurant and pousada called Kite Point. The beach is wide and sandy with lots of space to organize the gear in a cultural setting – Lagoinha is a popular day destination for Brazilians. Once set, you can opt from staying in the chop, looking for the waves a bit upwind or heading downwind to play in the lagoon.

The wind direction is side shore, changing to side onshore in the afternoon. You will find steady wind in the downwind part of the bay, and gusty with some holes, upwind close to the cliff.

Water conditions vary from small to medium chop, depending on the tides. Near the two cliffs, decorated by palm trees, clean breaks are created. There you can enjoy kitesurfing in side onshore wind conditions, otherwise the wind is sheltered.

Lagoa do Jegue

The Donkey lagoon is set among sand dunes and owned by the wild donkeys. This is your freestyle heaven. Flat water conditions, steady wind, and you can stand almost everywhere. Check the water depth, as it changes every season, depending on rainfall. It is located three kilometres downwind from the village.

Warm and rustic construction, set in a lush tropical garden make pousada Rosa dos Ventos especially inviting.

Spacious rooms feature eucalyptus built beds, which, covered with pure cotton sheets, promise a restorative sleep. Your private balcony is equipped with hammocks and puffs where you can relax between and after sessions. All the rooms are equipped with TV, fridge, ventilator and an air-conditioner.

There is also a common kitchen available if you wish to prepare your own meals or snacks. Barbecue and a wood oven are not missing in the lovely garden, which also features a small swimming pool.

• choose from some of great downwind options in the area – Barra do Trairí, Rio Curu, Guajirú, Mundaú or Fleixeras
• visit the Sunday market in Paraipaba
• go for a buggy excursion to Lagoa das Almecegas
• join the locals for Zumba on the main square twice a week
• sign up for introduction to capoeira

This small fisherman village, located two hours drive from the Fortaleza airport, is beautiful, safe and very authentic. Life here is slow, and people are very nice and helpful. The perfect place to combine your love for travelling and kiting.

The lagoon is a world class spot, just a short drive from the village, where you find perfect flat water conditions. It’s deep enough to be safe, and shallow enough to be able to stand, which makes it perfect for coaching and the kitesurf courses. In addition, there is plenty of space for everyone to enjoy comfortably and kite safely. Why do we like it so much? Well, what’s not to like after that description?! The best part is, that you’ll progress much faster in such welcoming conditions.

Right next to the village, we can kite in the ocean, and just going a little further north, we can even test our skills at the beach break wave spot.

Certainly one of the best kitesurfing locations in Brazil, suitable for all levels – beginner to advanced riders.
