Pecem

Pecem is a beach break located on Brazil's northeast coast facing northeast toward open Atlantic water. The spot is situated adjacent to a major industrial port complex, with visible cargo handling infrastructure and pier structures dominating the immediate area. The beach features sandbars and shallow water near shore that gradually transition to deeper ocean conditions. Wind reliability is low at 12.2%, with average winds of 8.8 knots and modest wave heights around 1.16m. The rough-chop water conditions indicate challenging texture typical of port areas. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds providing side-shore orientation parallel to the coastline. This spot suits beginner to early intermediate kiters during favorable wind windows, though the industrial setting and associated boat traffic require careful attention. Port operations may restrict access or create safety concerns. Timing around minimal port activity would be advisable. The low wind reliability makes this a secondary option compared to other northeastern Brazilian spots.
