JaguaribeUpolu /

Jaguaribe/Upolu is a developed beach break located along Brazil's Atlantic coast near Salvador. The spot features a northeast-facing sandy beach with organized residential and commercial zones immediately inland. The relatively straight coastline provides consistent side-shore wind conditions from the northwest to southwest quadrant. Water conditions are generally mild with low average wave heights (1.36m) and weak wind reliability (4.6%), making this suitable primarily for beginner to early intermediate kiters. The spot experiences warm tropical waters (26.2°C average) year-round. Primary concerns include urban beach management with designated swimming areas, limited fetch distance creating smaller wave development, and periodic crowding during tourist seasons. Infrastructure including seawalls and jetties may restrict water access and landing zones. Best conditions occur during seasonal wind shifts, though consistent thermal sea breezes provide marginal riding opportunities. The spot functions as an urban-accessible teaching beach rather than a dedicated watersports venue.
