Coqueiro

Coqueiro is a beach break located on Brazil's northeastern coast, facing northeast toward open Atlantic water. The spot features a curved sandy beach with notable shallow water extending offshore, visible as lighter turquoise zones. A prominent rock formation or reef structure extends into the nearshore zone, creating distinctive white water patterns. The surrounding town indicates this is a developed coastal community with residential areas immediately adjacent to the beach. The spot is characterized by rough-chop conditions with minimal swell (0.81m average) and very low wind reliability at 4.8%, making consistent kitesurfing sessions unpredictable. Average wind speeds of 7.2 knots are marginal for most kiters. The shallow, protected nature of the bay suggests this spot functions best during side-shore winds from the southeast, which would be approximately 135° magnetic. This location suits beginners seeking mellow conditions and small water, though the low wind frequency is a significant limitation. Kiters should carefully scout the rock formations and be aware of shallow areas near shore.
