Praia de Guriú
Brazil · Ceará
Praia de Guriú, located halfway between Jericoacoara and Tatajuba on the Ceará coast, is an isolated spot accessible by 4x4 or buggy through the dunes. This deserted beach offers a wild setting with fine sand and beautiful sunsets, perfect for riders seeking authenticity.
It is a popular place for locals and travelers due to its strong wind in the afternoon and memorable kitesurfing sessions. There is a shallow lagoon ideal for freestyle, surrounded by mangroves that add to the charm of the area.
The spot attracts all levels, from beginners enjoying the flat water at low tide to pros who perform jumps with the powerful trade winds.
Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The main wind comes from the east and southeast in a side-on direction relative to the northeast-facing beach, ideal for freeride, freestyle, and wakestyle. It picks up around noon, peaks in the afternoon until sunset with speeds of 15 to 25 knots, sometimes stronger for high jumps.
Launching is done directly on the sandy beach, with a wide and obstacle-free take-off area. The main navigation area is a shallow and flat lagoon, perfect for beginners and freestyle, but limited at low tide; at high tide, the space opens up to the ocean with some chop.
Best sessions at low tide and mid-tide for smooth water. It's an excellent stop for downwinders from Jericoacoara, with local schools offering shuttles and pickups by buggy. Be aware that access requires a suitable vehicle via the beach or dunes, about 30 minutes north of Jeri.
