Kitesurfing conditions in Cumbuco

Cumbuco is a beach village near Fortaleza in Ceará, north-east Brazil, and one of the most wind-reliable kite destinations in the world. It combines a choppy ocean beach with a small beach break and the flatwater Cauípe lagoon a short downwinder away, so it suits beginners learning on flat water as well as freestyle and wave riders. During the main trade-wind season the wind blows almost every day, turning side-onshore in the afternoons.
