Overview

South of Fortaleza, this small fishing village in Ceará remains a very popular kite destination for its authentic atmosphere and wide open spaces. The spot mainly offers varied conditions depending on the tide: flat water on the sandbanks at low tide, then choppy or small round waves as the sea rises. The trade winds generally blow from July to December, with a wind that is often steady and oriented side to side-on, which appeals to both freeriders and those looking to work on their freestyle. There is also a lagoon at the mouth of the Rio Jaguaribe, more sheltered and very suitable for learning or sessions in shallow water. It’s an accessible and versatile spot, but you need to keep an eye on the tide and the shifting sandbanks.
