Praia da Redonda (Icapuí)

Praia da Redonda (Icapuí) is a low-profile but scenic wind-sports beach on Brazil’s northeast coast, known for clean water, a sandy shoreline, and big beach space for launching. Conditions are typically choppy, and the setting includes red cliffs and dunes that can create great kite-soaring opportunities from the dune launch area overlooking the ocean. Wind is dominated by trade winds, with the most consistently favored months reported as January, February, and August through December. Reported wind direction is centered around NNE (with additional sources describing E/SE/ESE trade flow), and the spot is described as steady enough for progression and longer sessions, including freeride and wave-style riding. Safety planning is important because the beach and nearshore area can include anchored fishing boats (jangadas) and fishing nets, and the working fishing-village atmosphere means you should keep extra distance and be deliberate with your launch/landing plan. Multiple sources also warn that the beach can narrow dramatically at high tide due to the cliffs—so timing with tides matters. For temperature, the water is described as warm all year, with a seasonal table of roughly 27–28°C across the year. Local guidance emphasizes sun/wind comfort protection rather than thermal insulation, and the beach-wide nature of the launch makes it a practical spot for intermediate riders who can manage chop and navigate around fishing activity.
