Baleia

Baleia is a beach break located on Brazil's northeastern coast facing north toward the Atlantic Ocean. The spot features a sandy beach with several rocky outcrops visible in the shallow water, creating varied conditions across the break. The presence of extensive sand dunes and lagoon formations landward indicates a dynamic coastal environment with shifting bathymetry. The shallow water and sandy bottom make this spot accessible for beginners, though the rocky formations require local knowledge for navigation. Wind reliability is extremely low at 1.0%, suggesting this is primarily a seasonal destination dependent on specific weather patterns. Average wind speeds of 7.7 knots are marginal for most kitesurfing, indicating better conditions occur during specific wind events rather than consistently. East or northeast winds would provide optimal side-shore conditions for the north-facing beach. The modest wave height averaging 1.2m suits progression riders and beginners during favorable wind windows. Water temperature around 27°C is warm year-round. Best suited for kiters with local knowledge or during verified high-wind forecasts. Avoid the rocky areas, particularly during lower tides.
