Secret Spot (Guajiru Island)

Secret Spot (Ilha do Guajiru) is a secluded, boat-access-only flat-water kitesurfing location on the windward lagoon side near the Ilha do Guajiru lagoon system. Riding conditions are described as very flat and clean, with a small sandy beach and shallow lagoon areas that can change significantly with tide. Currents are reported as moderate near the lagoon mouth, and at low tide the shallow water can create extra risk. Wind is reported as a strong, steady trade-wind pattern coming from NE through SE (NE, ENE, E, ESE, SE). The best months are consistently given as August through December, with conditions described as excellent in peak season (with July to January commonly noted for strong consistency). Typical in-season wind ranges are reported around 20–30 knots, making it well suited for freestyle and freeride progression, including foil riding and (optionally) wave options after crossing a short sandstrip. Safety is a primary consideration. Wooden fishing stakes (corrais) are identified as the main on-water hazard, and riders are specifically advised to be careful when navigating around those stakes. Trees can also create beach-side risk. There is no lifeguard presence, and spot-level rescue availability is reported as not available; local emergency care is available in Itarema. Access and session planning require attention. Transfers must be arranged by boat (high tide is helpful/required for boat navigation). After a session, you can do a downwinder back to Praia da Barra, but you cannot kite back to Porto dos Barcos—so plan your return logistics before launching. Conditions are described as uncrowded compared with the more public lagoon areas, largely because reaching the spot requires boat transportation.
