Go kiting to Brazil: Why choose this country?

A dream come true for kitesurfers: Brazil is the full-blown love affair. It's got consistent wind, warm water, wild scenery, and that laid-back beach vibe that makes you forget what day it is. From endless downwinders to lagoon freestyle and wave spots, Brazil is built for kiting.

The season runs from July to January, with peak months between August and December, when the wind blows every day on the north coast. We’re talking 20–30 knots like clockwork. Water's warm year-round, so no wetsuit needed — just boardshorts and sunscreen (lots of it).

Brazil is insanely diverse, with wide sandy beaches, palm tree coastlines, flat water lagoons, river mouths, and reef breaks — all stretched across thousands of kilometers. It’s paradise for every kind of rider, and downwinders here aren’t a luxury — they’re the norm. Just pick a stretch of coast and go.

Pros: Brazil has world-class wind conditions, especially in the northeast (think Ceará state and up). The wind is strong, reliable, and blows for months on end. No need to overthink forecasts — just wake up and ride.

The water is warm, so you can ditch the neoprene and ride all day in boardshorts or bikinis. Big plus if you're coming from the chilly Atlantic.

It’s perfect for long kite trips and downwind adventures, with endless remote beaches and friendly fishing villages to stop at along the way.

The vibe is relaxed, people are warm and welcoming, and there's great local food (grilled fish, açaí, and cold coconut water on the beach — yes please).

Cons: Brazil is huge, so getting around takes time — internal flights are often needed if you want to explore beyond one region.

Some kite spots are remote, with limited infrastructure. Bring what you need and plan your logistics (especially transport and cash).

Mosquitoes and sun can be brutal in some areas — pack repellent and high-SPF sunscreen.

Language barrier is real — not many people speak English outside big cities, so learn a bit of Portuguese to make life easier.

Safety varies by region — most kite spots are chill, but always check local advice, especially in big cities.
