Tatajuba Kitesurfing wind conditions

This is a magnificent flat water spot where the wind blows side-onshore from July until the end of February, with only a few exceptions when the wind drops to roughly 18 knots. This area is renowned for having some of the strongest winds blowing in the state of Ceara, allowing for unending kite sessions that only end at sunset due to the lack of light. Tatajuba, like the rest of Ceara, has warm waters, a sunny climate, with temperatures that can reach 38 degrees Celsius and rarely fall below 25 degrees Celsius. There is a reason kitesurfers flock to Brazil every year!

Part in roof top bar over Jericoacoara
Brazil - Jericoacoara

Jericoacoara is a popular tourist stop in Northern Brazil and has been a windsurfing mecca since the 80s. It is a former fishing town in the middle of the sand dunes with pumping wind, and the town offers a nice mix of traditional Brazilian feeling and crazy parties all night long. This is a popular stopover when you fancy a bit of a rest from kitesurfing, rather than a main kitesurf spot itself, and great for a party and soaking in the vibes. You can kitesurf from the sunset dune if you like but actually kitesurfing from the main point in Jericoacoara is forbidden and reserved for windsurfers only. In front of the dune is gusty and not much fun, so in order to kitesurf you will either want to get a buggy to the nearby lagoons and beaches, or launch your kite from Jericoacoara, kitesurf downwind and get picked up at the end. The local kite schools offer shuttles, trips and downwind services so the best bet is to get in touch with them for more info.
