If you didn’t know already, Brazil
is one of the best places in the world for kite surfing.
The best beaches with the best and most consistent winds are all in the
north. Now is the best time to go with the season running from June/July to
December/January. During these months the winds average between twenty to
thirty knots every day and in the final few months of the year the winds get
stronger, occasionally even reaching thirty-five knots.
This makes it one of the longest windy seasons in the world and why northern
Brazil has become such a Mecca for kite surfers. A number of pro-kiters will head to northern Brazil every
year to hone their technique as they know they can be guaranteed consistently
excellent winds and weather.
These northern beaches, particularly between Jericoacoara and Fortaleza
offer an amazing mix of strong winds and trendy beach towns, perfect for a kite
surfing holiday to Brazil.
Towns and villages such as Cumbuco, Prea, Taiba, Icarazinho, Paracuru and
Flexeiras all have a chilled out atmosphere offering simple to excellent
accommodation options to relax in when the kite surfing is finished for the day.
Aside from the winds a big part of the appeal is the laid
back Brazilian lifestyle. As the sun starts to set you can smell fresh fish
being cooked nearby, locals are practicing capoeria and the caipirinhas start
to flow.
If you head to the north of Brazil
to kite surf then a great base is offered in Jericoacoara, an amazing town
which you will be reluctant to leave during a Brazil
holiday and one of our favourite destinations in the whole of Brazil.
