Icarai di Amontada

Icarai de Amontada is a beach break located on Brazil's northeastern coast facing northeast into the Atlantic. The spot features a gently curving sandy shoreline with moderate fetch from open ocean, backed by a settlement with agricultural land and scattered vegetation. Water conditions are typically choppy rather than well-formed, with average waves around 1 meter. Wind reliability is relatively low at 19.5%, though average wind speed of 9.2 knots provides workable conditions during consistent periods. The beach-facing orientation and shallow waters make this spot suitable for beginners and intermediates seeking light-wind practice. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds (315°) that blow side-shore along the beach. The shallow approach and sandy bottom reduce impact risk, though kiters should monitor water depth near shore. The area shows seasonal agricultural activity inland and moderate development, requiring awareness of local conditions and tide states. This is primarily a light-wind spot better suited to learning than progression.
