Barra do Cunhaú Blue Dream Resort

Barra do Cunhaú is a lagoon-style kitesurfing spot located in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, featuring a sheltered water body separated from the Atlantic Ocean by narrow beach strips and sandbars. The northeast-facing coastline creates a protected lagoon environment with light, turquoise water typical of tropical Brazilian lagoons. This spot is characterized by minimal wave activity (0.78m average) and very low wind reliability (6.4%), making consistent conditions rare. The shallow lagoon bottom and shifting sandbars require careful navigation and local knowledge. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds (315°), which provide side-shore flow parallel to the coast. The calm, shallow water and protected environment suit beginner to early intermediate riders seeking flat-water progression rather than wave riding. Access appears limited by residential development. The low wind statistics and light swell suggest this spot functions primarily as a dry season or occasional wind day option rather than a reliable year-round destination. Local guides recommended for safe navigation around shallow areas and sandbars.
