Paracuru

Paracuru is a beach break located on Brazil's northeastern coast facing northeast into the Atlantic Ocean. The spot features a sandy beach with prominent rocky formations and sandbars in the nearshore zone. The surrounding landscape shows agricultural development with organized field patterns extending to the coastline. The spot is characterized by small, choppy waves typical of this region, with significant rocky hazards that require knowledge of local conditions. Water conditions show visible sediment and color variations indicating river runoff and strong coastal currents. Wind reliability is notably low at 0.7%, making consistent sessions infrequent. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds (310-320°) providing side-shore orientation. Average wave height of 1.3m and water temperature of 27°C suit warm-water kiting. This spot works best for beginner to intermediate kiters comfortable with rocky terrain and shallow-water launching. Local knowledge of sandbars and current patterns is essential. The rough-chop water type suggests challenging conditions with limited wave organization, making it more suitable for freestyle or light-wind sessions than wave riding.
