About This Spot
Praia do Amor is a northeast-facing beach break located on Brazil's northeastern coast near Pipa. The spot features a sandy beach with rocky headland formations at the northern end, bordered by residential development. Water conditions show light swell averaging 0.78m with moderate wind conditions at 8.3 knots average. The beach faces northeast (45°), making northwest winds (315°) ideal side-shore conditions for safe kitesurfing. This spot suits intermediate riders who can manage moderate wave dynamics and variable wind patterns. Key considerations include navigating around rocky outcropping areas, watching for shifting sand banks that affect wave formation, and being aware of currents generated by the headland. The low wind reliability (6.4%) suggests sessions are inconsistent. Riders should scout conditions before committing and maintain awareness of the narrow landing zone constrained by residential areas. The light swell and moderate wind make this suitable for progression work rather than wave-riding focus.
Hazards & Safety
Rocky headland/cliff formations visible at northern end of beach
Shallow nearshore areas with varying depth
Strong currents around headland zones
Residential development density limiting landing areas
Wave reflection from cliff faces causing choppy conditions
Beach break power variations due to sand bank shifts
