Praia do Leão

Praia do Leão is a beach break located on Brazil's northeastern coast, characterized by sandy shores with scattered rocky formations. The coastline faces northeast, opening to the Atlantic. The spot experiences consistent tropical conditions with average temperatures around 27°C and moderate wave heights of 1.9m. Wind reliability is relatively low at 41.3%, with average winds of 11.3 knots—marginal for kitesurfing and requiring optimal conditions. The water type is classified as rough, indicating variable conditions and potential turbulence. Rocky outcrops along the shoreline present navigation hazards requiring experienced positioning. The spot suits intermediate kiters who can handle variable wind patterns and read water conditions effectively. Best conditions occur during northeastern wind patterns when side-shore winds align favorably. Visit during seasonal wind peaks to maximize session quality. Beginners should avoid this spot due to low wind consistency and rocky hazards. Local knowledge of tidal patterns and current behavior is recommended before visiting.
