About This Spot
This delta system in northeastern Brazil features complex tidal channels and shallow sandbars characteristic of estuarine environments. The spot shows multiple waterways creating a maze-like pattern suitable for flat-water kitesurfing when conditions align. The adjacent residential area indicates moderate human activity. Wind reliability is notably low at 8.3%, making sessions inconsistent. When northeast winds (315°) develop, they provide side-shore conditions parallel to the main coastal orientation. Average wind of 8.2 knots requires riding in a thermal or monsoon wind window. Water conditions are rough-chop typical of delta environments mixing freshwater and saltwater. This spot suits intermediate riders comfortable navigating shallow channels and variable currents. Key considerations include monitoring tide schedules affecting water depth and channel flow, awareness of local boat traffic from the nearby town, and understanding delta hydraulics where currents can be strong between channels. Sessions are best planned around wind forecasts given the low reliability.
