Praia Ipuã

Praia Ipuã is a beach break located on the southern Brazilian coast, characterized by a long sandy beach flanked by rocky headlands. The coastline faces northeast toward open Atlantic waters, providing exposure to ocean swells. The spot features a relatively sheltered bay configuration with a wide sandy beach suitable for launching and landing. The presence of residential development and structures indicates this is an accessible, populated beach area. With average wind speeds of 5.6 knots and extremely low wind reliability at 2.0%, conditions are generally light and inconsistent. Average wave heights of 1.60m suggest modest swell with rough water conditions. Best wind direction is from the northwest (315°), providing side-shore conditions parallel to the beach. The low wind reliability and small average waves make this primarily a beginner-friendly spot suited for light-wind practice and progression. Kiters should be aware of the rocky formations at either end of the beach, potential shallow water hazards near shore, and the unpredictability of wind patterns requiring flexible scheduling.
