Lagoa Uruau

Lagoa Uruau is a shallow coastal lagoon system in northeastern Brazil characterized by extensive white sand flats interspersed with vegetation patches and scattered rock formations. The lagoon faces westward, creating a protected water body separated from the open ocean. The water shows rough-chop conditions typical of shallow lagoon environments rather than organized swell. This spot suits beginner to intermediate kiters seeking flat-water conditions and protected learning environments, though the numerous shallow areas and submerged obstacles require careful navigation. Best wind direction is northerly, providing side-shore conditions across the lagoon's main fetch area. The low wind reliability (11.3%) and modest average wind speed (8.1 knots) suggest this is a spot for lighter wind days. Kiters should expect variable depth, monitor tidal changes affecting water levels, and maintain awareness of reef and rock hazards. The lagoon's protected nature makes it suitable for progression practice rather than wave riding.
