Grande

Grande Beach is a southeast-facing sandy beach break located in the Atlantic coastal region of Brazil. The spot features a narrow strip of sand bordered by dense residential development to the north and west, with forested cliffs visible in the background. Water conditions show modest wave heights averaging 1.1m with low wind reliability at the location (3.2 knots average). The beach faces northeast to east, making northwest to north winds ideal for side-shore conditions. The spot suits beginner to early intermediate kiters given the modest wave heights and relatively protected beach setting. However, the tight urban development restricts space for launches and landings, and kiters should exercise caution during crowded periods. The rocky headland visible to the north may create localized current patterns. Best sessions occur during the southern hemisphere winter months when stronger wind systems approach the coast. Water temperature averages 23.8°C, allowing minimal thermal protection.
