About Pontal de Maceio

Legendary kite village on the north-east coast of Brazil, about 130 km south-east of Fortaleza. Very forgiving conditions — flat water, small chop and small waves close to shore — make it one of the world’s best spots for kitesurf progression, from intermediate to freestyle. Steady cross-shore trade winds blow from June through January, with peak conditions August to December.
