Lagoa Azul

Lagoa Azul is a coastal lagoon system in northeastern Brazil featuring shallow, turquoise waters separated from the Atlantic by a narrow white sand barrier. The lagoon runs north-south with agricultural land to the west and ocean access via a restricted inlet. The spot is characterized by rough-chop water conditions typical of shallow lagoon environments with limited fetch. Prevailing winds average only 9.1 knots with poor reliability (14.4%), making consistent sessions challenging. Best conditions occur with northerly winds providing side-shore flow across the lagoon's main axis. The shallow depth and numerous sandbars make this suitable primarily for beginners and progression riders seeking flat-water practice. Strong tidal cycles and narrow channels restrict water circulation. Kiters should monitor depth carefully, particularly near visible limestone formations on the eastern shore. The low wind reliability means this spot functions best as a secondary option during seasonal wind windows rather than a primary destination.
