Guaraú (Peruíbe)

Guaraú (Peruíbe) is a sandy, beach-break coastline that’s described as very consistent for surfing, with fun, moderate-power waves and both left and right directions. Surf typically starts working from less than 1 m / 3 ft and can hold into larger swell, while remaining described as having good wave quality and good day length. For wind sports, kitesurfing is supported by NE through SE wind directions, with the most consistent kiting winds identified as Northeasterlies and post-frontal Southerlies. A thermal sea breeze commonly builds in sunny afternoons, reinforcing the prevailing NE flow during late spring and summer; the thermal window is described around 13:00–18:00 in summer. Typical kiting wind speeds are reported around 12–22 knots, with gustiness described as light. Conditions are more complex near the river mouth (Rio Guaraú). The area can offer flatter sections for kitesurfing and calmer water options for foiling depending on tide, but strong outgoing currents are specifically highlighted during ebbing tides, along with potential hazards like fishing nets and debris. Local guidance emphasizes checking the tide before riding in the river mouth. The spot is scenic and low-profile, with a crowd pattern that’s generally quiet on weekdays but can become extremely busy during peak summer holiday periods. Safety planning should account for exposure, headland rocks at the north and south ends of the beach, and the limited rescue availability in the area.
