Barra Da Lagoa Do Peixe (Tavares)

Barra Da Lagoa do Peixe (Tavares) is a remote kitesurfing-focused spot in the Lagoa do Peixe National Park, centered on a long, narrow lagoon system that meets the Atlantic. The core riding area is described as shallow and often very flat, with additional small-to-medium wave opportunities on the ocean side depending on conditions and shifting sandbanks. Wind is typically associated with a strong Northeast trade flow (Nordestão) plus periodic frontal influence, with seasonal thermal reinforcement that tends to strengthen afternoon pressure. In practice, riders report best wind directions around NE and S (with SE also occurring) and a peak wind period broadly spanning the warmer months, along with additional favorable months in the local winter/shoulder season. For kitesurfing, the spot is commonly framed as ideal for long-distance freeride and downwind sessions, while also offering wave riding options when the ocean side cooperates. Conditions are generally accessible to intermediate riders, but the lagoon-to-ocean channel can develop strong currents, and sandbanks/tides can change the practicality of launch and beach access. The location is intentionally wilderness-like: there are no on-site food/water facilities, no equipment rental, and no lifeguards or dedicated rescue service for wind sports. Practical self-sufficiency is emphasized—plan gear and supplies carefully, check tides before driving, avoid dune driving, and be mindful of environmental constraints such as sensitive bird nesting areas.
