Embuaca

Embuaca is a beach break located on the northeastern Brazilian coast near Fortaleza, facing northeast toward the Atlantic Ocean. The spot features a sandy beach with residential development immediately adjacent to the waterline, indicating a populated coastal area. The shallow, rough-chop water conditions and modest average wave height of 1.16m make this a beginner-friendly location with minimal wave power. The primary challenge is wind availability—the 10% wind reliability suggests this spot is highly inconsistent for kitesurfing. Best conditions occur with northwest to west winds (310-320°), which provide side-shore blowing parallel to the northeast-facing beach. The area's warm water (27.2°C) and relatively protected nearshore environment suit novice kiters, though the unpredictable wind patterns mean riders should check forecasts carefully before visiting. The proximity of buildings and infrastructure requires awareness of local regulations and potential obstacles. Sandbars and shallow zones dominate the riding area, necessitating caution during entry and exit.
