About This Spot
Alem is located in a protected bay in southeastern Brazil, characterized by industrial port facilities and relatively sheltered waters. The spot features a northeast-facing coastline with breakwater structures that define the riding area. The water shows significant sediment load, typical of bay systems with river influence and industrial activity. Wind conditions are notably weak with only 5.4 knots average and minimal reliability at 0.7%, making this a challenging spot for consistent kitesurfing. Wave height averages under 1 meter, indicating limited swell exposure. The spot is surrounded by mangrove forests and developed areas, with active port operations visible. Shallow zones near the shore and breakwater structures require careful navigation. Water temperature around 24°C is warm year-round. This location suits only advanced kiters capable of working light wind conditions and navigating around infrastructure. The industrial setting and marginal wind statistics suggest this is a secondary option rather than a primary kitesurfing destination in the region.
