Brazil’s northeast coast offers some of the most reliable wind in the world — steady 18–35 knots from July to January. The trade winds blow side-onshore almost daily, creating perfect conditions for both freestyle and wave riders. With air temps around 28–35°C and water averaging 26–28°C, you can ride in boardshorts all season long. Early months bring full lagoons and flatwater, while later in the season the sandbanks shift and waves come alive — endless summer, guaranteed.

We strongly advise contacting the Brazilian embassy or consulate in your country for the most up-to-date and nationality-specific requirements.
The official currency in Brazil is the Brazilian Real (R$).
It’s advisable to check the current exchange rate before exchanging money or withdrawing locally.
Brazilian cuisine is rich, diverse and regionally influenced. On the northeast coast, seafood is central — expect grilled fish, shrimp, and moqueca (a coconut-based seafood stew).
Meat lovers should visit a “churrascaria”, where you can enjoy an endless rotation of grilled meats.
Breakfasts usually feature fresh tropical fruits and juices, varying with the season — a perfect energy boost for long kite sessions.

You can bring your own kites, but rentals are available in most major spots. We recommend packing at least two or three kite sizes (men: 8m & 11m, women: 6m & 9m depending on weight) to cover the full wind range. Bringing spare parts is very useful, as finding them here isn’t so easy.
A downwinder is when you ride with the wind along the coast, passing by wild beaches, river mouths, lagoons and wave spots, stopping overnight in different villages, covering kilometers stunning nature during a certain amount of days. Brazil is not only famous for them, but the only destination in the world where you can travel along the coast for so many kilometers — from half-day runs to multi-day safaris covering 200+ km. They’re a must-try for intermediate to advanced kiters.

Budget travelers can stay local and ride for low daily costs, while guided downwinders with 4×4 support, pousadas, and logistics included range from mid to premium pricing. No matter the budget, Brazil offers some of the best wind value in the world.
