The wind blows for about 8 months of the year from June/July until January/February, and as it’s a little further North the wind in Ilha tends to blow a bit longer than some of the spots closer to Fortaleza. There are an abundance of good quality pousadas on the spot, and it can get pretty busy in the season particularly when a large tour group descends, but luckily the kite lagoon is large enough that you can always find some free space to kitesurf away from the crowd. There are a number of different kite spots in the lagoon, and it’s also a popular place to do downwinders, which can be arranged via the pousadas or you can just jump in a taxi and get dropped off somewhere upwind if you’re feeling adventurous!

When you think of Cuba you probably have cigars and classic cars in mind, but there are some great kitesurfing spots too, one of which is Santa Lucia, an empty palm fringed beach with flat water close to shore and some little choppy waves breaking just a bit further off.

The water is crystal blue and the culture and history is something special, so there are plenty of good reasons to visit Cuba even if you aren’t just there for kitesurfing..

Melville Beach is a large bay perfect for anyone looking for flat and shallow water, so is popular with kitesurfers not quite riding upwind and has a couple of schools who work from there. It’s also a great place to work on your freestyle as in lighter wind it stays nice and flat all over. The beach itself is narrow so there are strict rules for where to launch/land and how to behave on the beach and while kitesurfing. The launching and landing zone is marked with 3 yellow buoys, so riders should avoid this area once they are out kiting themselves. 

Aside from that Melville beach offers a really nice kite spot for all levels, with flat water up to about 20 knots when it gets a little more choppy. It’s also really easily accessed from Perth itself, being less than 10km from the centre of the city.

Point walter is a large sand bar extending into the Swan river, which basically offers two kite spots. One is an onshore wind spot with pretty flat water, and on the other side of the sand bar the wind blows offshore, creating a butter flat spot perfect for freestyle and wakestyle kiteboarders. It can get crazy busy with kitesurfers as well as other beach users on summer days when the wind picks up, so you need to be confident launching and landing in a tight spot, and also watch out for boats and other water users once out kitesurfing. It’s a great kite spot, one of the only spots in the area which works in Easterly wind and is a favourite for local kitesurfers, which is why it can get so overcrowded.

Jericoacoara is a popular tourist stop in Northern Brazil and has been a windsurfing mecca since the 80s. It is a former fishing town in the middle of the sand dunes with pumping wind, and the town offers a nice mix of traditional Brazilian feeling and crazy parties all night long. This is a popular stopover when you fancy a bit of a rest from kitesurfing, rather than a main kitesurf spot itself, and great for a party and soaking in the vibes.

You can kitesurf from the sunset dune if you like but actually kitesurfing from the main point in Jericoacoara is forbidden and reserved for windsurfers only. In front of the dune is gusty and not much fun, so in order to kitesurf you will either want to get a buggy to the nearby lagoons and beaches, or launch your kite from Jericoacoara, kitesurf downwind and get picked up at the end. The local kite schools offer shuttles, trips and downwind services so the best bet is to get in touch with them for more info.
