Kite Safaris in Brazil
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.

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.
Start by picking your region — Rio Grande do Norte (São Miguel do Gostos, Galinhos, Soledade, etc.) Ceará (Cumbuco, Taiba, Icarai, Preá, Jeri, Tatajuba, etc.), Piauí (Barra Grande and Macapá) or Maranhão (Arpoadro, Atins, Lençóis). Decide if you want to stay in one spot or join a downwind trip to experience multiple destinations. We offer tailored packages with accommodation, transfers, courses and guides so you can focus on riding.
