Lagoinha

Lagoinha is a sheltered lagoon spot located on Brazil's northeastern coast, featuring a natural inlet connecting to the Atlantic Ocean. The lagoon offers protected water separated from open ocean swell by a sandy barrier beach and rocky headlands. The spot benefits from enclosed conditions that reduce chop and create manageable wave patterns, making it accessible for developing riders. The lagoon's orientation suggests northwesterly winds provide ideal side-shore conditions. Residential development and light industrial infrastructure occupy the surrounding area, including water storage facilities visible in satellite imagery. Best conditions occur during the region's consistent wind season when thermal patterns develop. The shallow, protected nature of the lagoon makes it suitable for beginners and intermediate riders seeking to improve technique in manageable conditions. Kiters should monitor water conditions after rainfall due to lagoon's connection to surrounding terrain, and be aware of the narrow inlet which concentrates tidal flow and may create variable current patterns.
