Uruau

Uruau is famous for its 24-hour blowing wind. It receives warm and stable winds from the east in the peak season, also known as trade winds. The wind speed usually varies from 12- 25 knots but can reach up to 30 knots between October and December. The wind is perfect for riders improving their skills and beginners wanting to progress. The kite spot Lagoa do Uruau is also affects by thermal winds, so wind forecasts are not reliable. To know more about the winds, contact the local kite schools. 

Lagoa do Uruau has flat and shallow water, which gets a bit choppier as you move away from shore further. The blowing wind makes the water choppy, rippling with waves that make it trickier for a beginner. You’ll need a little bit of kiteboarding skill and a round-edged board to glide smoothly across the chop. Hence, it is a great place to practice freestyle, wake style, ocean waves, or freerides. Just be careful with the few rocks and oysters lurking beneath the surface. You can set up your kite on the massive white sandy beach. Due to the different wind conditions in the different parts, Uruau is a suitable kiteboard spot for surfers of all levels. The peak season lies between July and December. Even though Uruau is a tiny village, it has excellent inns and restaurants to welcome its visitors. All of them are within 2-5 minutes walking distance from the spot. You’ll have WiFi at the kitesurfing centers and inns. Some of the meals you will easily find here are lobsters, shrimp, pizzas, hamburgers, and the famous Brazilian Acai. Uruau mainly focuses on kiteboarding and kitesurfers’ training. So, sign up in the kite schools to sharpen your skills. Alternatively, intermediate riders can rent kitesurfing gear from the kite center and count on the rescue service. Among the activities, if you enjoy horse-riding, go for a memorable sunset ride on the beach. If you are in the mood to party, head out to Canoa Quebrada, which has an enjoyable Reggae bar on the beach. But, if you are tired from kitesurfing, head to the spa to relax and replenish your energy.
