Bahia Formosa is a coastal bay in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, characterized by a protected crescent-shaped shoreline with shallow, warm waters. The bay faces northeast into the Atlantic, with a rocky headland forming the eastern boundary and sandy beaches curving westward. The spot features a large protected lagoon area ideal for lighter wind conditions, with sandy bottom and gradual depth transitions. The low average wind speed (7.9 knots) and minimal wind reliability (1%) suggest this is primarily a summer thermal spot or suitable during seasonal wind shifts. Wave heights average 1.36m, making conditions generally mellow. The bay's protection and shallow nature suit beginners and intermediate riders seeking safe, forgiving conditions. Kiters should be aware of tidal influences affecting water depth and the rocky formation on the east side. The proximity of residential areas indicates active boat traffic potential. Best wind approaches from the northwest (315°), providing side-shore conditions parallel to the main bay orientation. Visit during afternoon thermal development or seasonal wind patterns for improved conditions.
