Barra do Cauipe, Brazil is a
Shallow, Flat and Chop spot.
The
launching/landing area
is reported to be of
Big size.
The beach has a pretty good area to launch and land the kite, no concrete, no buildings, just sand and coconuts trees. Only some cars can be park around the lagoon. Sand on the northern top and grass and barracas on the South side. Weekends can get really crowded with locals, there are windsurfers too and on the shores many people, swimmers and bathers. During the week there's no people, only kiters.
Clean, perfect flat water. Some areas can be really shallow. Best hours, early from 8-11 am and later at 4-5 pm when people start to leave (and wind too). At the ocean side waves. Few people during off season (February until September). On the early hours beginners are having courses which use the lagoon on the last steps of kite teaching. There are given kite lessons by locals too. Good place to learn your first rides but be careful with the kite traffic.
