Lagoa do Uruau

Lagoa do Uruau is a freshwater lagoon spot in Beberibe known for flat-water kitesurfing conditions. The lagoon’s clean water and generally medium beach access make it a strong training environment, especially for freestyle and progression where riders can find smoother sections close to the learning area. Wind comes predominantly from the east sector, with trade winds (SE/E) that are reinforced by local thermal effects in the afternoon. The most consistently reported season runs from July through December (with an especially strong window in mid to late year). One source also describes very high seasonal wind reliability (~97% during the season). Conditions support a dual experience: very flat, lagoon-based riding for freestyle and freeride, with small-to-medium wave options further offshore. Depth varies, with very shallow water near the lagoon edges and deeper water toward the center and farther out, which helps beginners and intermediates find workable riding areas. On the safety side, the key cautions are shoreline obstacles (trees, bushes, fences/buildings) that can create wind shadows, plus reports of underwater vegetation in some areas. Crowd levels can be higher from October to December, and rescue availability is described as limited—so it’s important to stay within designated launch areas and keep distance from other lagoon users. Warm temperatures mean a wetsuit is generally not needed, though sun protection is recommended.
