Kitesurfing at
CumbucoTRADES JUN -> JAN
Kitesurfing at Cumbuco is Brazil's gateway session: a long ocean beach with schools working straight off the sand — the Windtown Beach Hotel stands directly on it — and the flat Cauípe lagoon a short downwinder away for lessons and freestyle. Trade winds blow 15 to 25 knots from June to January, the water is warm all season, and the village lives on kite time: buggy dunes and beach restaurants fill the no-wind hours.
