Praia do Torres

Praia do Torres is located at the mouth of a river delta system on Brazil's northeastern coast, where freshwater outflow meets the Atlantic. The spot features shallow lagoon waters transitioning to open ocean, with visible sandbars and tidal channels characteristic of delta environments. The coastline orientation northeast-facing creates a diagonal water body where side-shore conditions occur with northwest or southeast winds. Water conditions show significant chop and color variation indicating active sediment transport and freshwater mixing. Best wind direction is northwest (315°), providing side-shore conditions parallel to the coast. The spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with shallow water, variable conditions, and river dynamics. Key considerations include very low wind reliability (5.2%), requiring patience for suitable conditions. Shallow depths demand awareness of sandbar placement and tidal changes. The residential development inland suggests limited launch/landing flexibility. Small average wave height (1.36m) indicates protected waters better for light-wind riding than wave sport. Water temperature (27.2°C) allows year-round riding with minimal protection.
