Centre Profile
Kitesurf beach & spot
Long sandy beaches of north-east Brazil stretch out to the horizon. They are considered to be the most beautiful beaches in the country. The kite centre is only about 200 m from the water’s edge and offers you an ideal spot extending over several square kilometers, with enough space to take advantage of the cross-onshore wind. The spot is quite changeable thanks to the tides – new, different conditions arise twice a day: At high tide, you’ll find a wide, shallow lagoon with flat water. When you start, you can adjust your kite and board in shallow water. Fewer waves make kiting comfortable and offer ideal conditions for freestylers. Advanced kitesurfers can also enjoy a 500m mirror-smooth water upwind at the mouth of the Rio Pirangi or ride the ocean waves just across the sandbank. Wind and current form the lagoon differently every year, and can happen that at low tide there is very little water. In that case KBC Parajuru organizes a free shuttle to our upwind spot.

Valber’s unforgettable churrascos would surely tempt even a vegetarian. A churrasco, or barbecue, is a centrepiece of Brazilian cuisine and therefore a must for every holidaymaker.

A unique culinary experience, and one not to be missed!

Wind, Weather & Tides
Wind and Weather
Between June and January, reliable wind conditions are above 70%. During these eight months, the trade winds create ideal kiting conditions with wind speeds between 15 and 25 knots, and it almost never rains. You can expect the best conditions between August and November. The wind comes from the east/south-east and blows cross-onshore. Kite sizes between 7 sqm and 12 sqm will work well. The standard kite size is 9; use 12 for the early and late season. Air temperatures are around 30°C. The sea is warm – board shorts and Lycra are all you’ll need for kitesurfing here. However, don’t forget to use high-quality, waterproof sun protection as well.
High and low tide in our lagoon
At low tide, the beach is very wide and the lagoon is shallow. The water is extremely smooth. This is optimal for practising in our shallow area and with a constant cross-onshore wind. When you start, you can adjust your kite and board from a standing position. With so much room in the water and on the beach, practising as well as launching and landing your kite are simple and safe. These are also ideal conditions for freestylers.
Wave enthusiasts will find everything they’re looking for at high tide, and novices can make their first attempts too.
