Waves breaking on sandy bottom, varied conditions
Porto das Dunas is a developed beach break located on Brazil's northeastern coast facing east toward the Atlantic Ocean. The spot features organized residential and resort development immediately inland, with a sandy beach and consistent water access. The area experiences predominantly easterly exposure with an average wind speed of 9 knots, though wind reliability is quite low at 14.9%, making consistent sessions unpredictable. Average wave heights of 1.22m are modest, suitable for learning but limiting for progression. The rough-chop water conditions suggest wind-generated texture rather than organized swell. This spot works best with northerly or southerly winds (side-shore), though the low overall reliability means wind windows are narrow. The beach break format and gentle conditions make it suitable for beginners and learners, though the unreliable wind and modest waves may frustrate intermediate riders seeking more challenging progression. Kiters should expect crowded conditions given the resort development and plan sessions around rare reliable wind windows.
