Tides at the Spot
Keep an eye on the new moon and full moon dates in your calendar. At full moon, the lagoon is at its widest and deepest for the entire month. Our kitesurfing spot changes daily due to the tides, the lunar cycle, and wind conditions.
High
Tide At high tide, the lagoon is particularly wide with shallow water. The shallow water near the shore is ideal for water starts and initial exercises in kitesurfing lessons. Our shallow and calm lagoon makes kitesurfing enjoyable and offers great conditions for freestylers. Advanced kitesurfers can look forward to 500 meters of mirror-smooth water on the windward side of the Pirangi River estuary or ride the ocean waves at the sandbar.
At low tide, the lagoon dries up, and small waves with shallow water form along the oceanfront.
In the ocean, just beyond the lagoon, advanced riders will always find conditions suitable for riding.
Bar & Restaurant
At our Maré Alta restaurant, you can recharge your energy after an exhausting kite session with authentic Brazilian delicacies such as macaxeira, arrumadinho, or bolinhas de peixe. We prepare excellent dishes featuring freshly caught fish, shrimp, crab, lobster, and a variety of meat specialties.
For breakfast, we serve superfoods and delicious treats made from acai berries. Our fresh juices made from local fruits like cajá, graviola, and goiaba will give you the energy you need for another round on the water. Have you ever tried drinking coconut water straight from a coconut? At the end of a successful day of kiting, of course, a Caipirinha or two is a must. We look forward to turning your perfect day of kiting into a culinary highlight as well.

Between June and January, wind reliability is over 70%. During these eight months of the year, the trade winds provide ideal kiting conditions with wind speeds between 15 and 25 knots and almost no rain. The best conditions are between August and November. The wind comes from the east/southeast and blows diagonally onshore. Kite sizes between 7m² and 12m² are ideal, with a 9m² kite being the standard size and a 12m² kite being the standard size in the early and late seasons. The air temperature is around 30°C. The sea is warm – you can kitesurf in just board shorts and a Lycra shirt. However, you should always remember to use very good, waterproof sunscreen.
Keep an eye on your calendar for new moon and full moon. At full moon, the lagoon is at its widest and deepest for the entire month. Our kitesurfing and wingfoiling spot changes daily due to the tides, the moon cycle, and wind conditions.
High tide
: At high tide, the lagoon is particularly wide with shallow water. The flat water near the shore is ideal for water starts and first exercises in kite training. Our shallow and calm lagoon makes kitesurfing enjoyable and offers great conditions for freestylers. Advanced kitesurfers can look forward to 500 meters of mirror-smooth water on the windward side of the Pirangi River mouth or ride the ocean waves at the sandbar.
At high tide and preferably during a full moon, the lagoon is a good spot for wingfoil beginners. We particularly recommend our spot for advanced wingfoilers who can enjoy the lagoon, the river mouth, and the open sea.
At low tide, the lagoon dries up and small waves with shallow water form at the sea front.
On the sea, directly behind the lagoon, advanced kitesurfers and wingfoilers will always find conditions for riding.
