Barra do Cauipe

Clean, perfect flat water. Some areas can be really shallow. Best hours, early from 8-11 am and later at 4-5 pm when people start to leave (and wind too). At the ocean side waves. Few people during off season (February until September). On the early hours beginners are having courses which use the lagoon on the last steps of kite teaching. There are given kite lessons by locals too. Good place to learn your first rides but be careful with the kite traffic. The beach has a pretty good area to launch and land the kite, no concrete, no buildings, just sand and coconuts trees. Only some cars can be park around the lagoon. Sand on the northern top and grass and barracas on the South side. Weekends can get really crowded with locals, there are windsurfers too and on the shores many people, swimmers and bathers. During the week there's no people, only kiters. The wind is good to fly with an 12-16 sqm kite most part of the year. Best winds from July to January, strongest around September. About 100% from July to January and 65% from February to June. The weather is good during the whole year with constant winds. There is no off-season here. No wetsuit necessary. Sunny and warm. Water 29°C and air 32°C. From July to January no or minimal rain, from February April rainy season. But only rains shortly each day. Water: Shallow, Flat, Chop. Features: Toilet, Food, Parking.
