Barra do Cunhau, Brazil is a
Shallow, Flat, Chop, Small waves and Medium waves spot.
The
launching/landing area
is reported to be of
Big size.
Very nice beach. Lots of space, white and soft sand, some rocks but no big deal at all. In Barra do Cunhau you have different possibilities to start and land your kite: directly at the lagoon with onshore wind and normally enough place depending on the tide. To the left beach sise with sideshore wind with big start and land area. Or on the other site of the lagoon on the right beachside with sideonshore wind and place for 300 kites.
Here you can find a huge lagoon with perfect flat water and a big stand-deep area, or waves outside on the beach. If you are a flat water enthusiast, kite in the lagoon. Since the lagoon is open to the sea you have to deal with the Brazilian tides. There are currents in the front of the spot, only when the water runs out, if you don't like that go in the bigger back part of the lagoon, there you find the whole day flat water conditions. If you like small waves because you are practicing the first steps on waves, go on the right side of the beach. Here you find (depending on the tides) a big area to stand in the water and the waves are not that high. If you prefer more radical waves, go to the left side of the beach, not for beginners there.
