Sabiaguaba Lagoon (Amontada)

Sabiaguaba Lagoon (Amontada) is a warm, clean lagoon set up for flat-water kitesurfing. The water is described as shallow and mostly flat, with choppy texture possible, and there’s a sandy medium-sized beach with easy lagoon access via a sandy path from the main road. The launch is generally straightforward, but actual usable depth can change with water level. In the dry season (best months July through December), the wind is reported as highly reliable and typically from the east. A thermal effect from the east sector reinforces the wind, giving sessions that are commonly steady enough for freestyle and progressions. Reported typical wind strengths range roughly in the mid-teens up to about 30 knots, with kite size recommendations frequently around 7–10 m² for common rider weights. Conditions are especially attractive for freestyle and wakestyle-style riding because the lagoon stays wave-free/flat compared with the nearby ocean, and the spot is generally described as not tide-dependent for kitesurfing. However, shallow sections and seasonal filling/drying mean it’s important to verify water level before traveling—during the rainy season (February to May) the lagoon holds water well, while toward the end of the year it can become very small. Safety-wise, there are no formal lifeguards or rescue service reported for the spot. The main practical risks are shallow water and wind turbulence near the edges where trees and shrubs line the lagoon. Plan to manage near-shore chop/shallows carefully, and prioritize sun protection since the area is described as strongly sunny year-round.
