Jericoacoara ("Jeri") is a village in Ceará, northeast Brazil, set inside a national park of sand dunes and lagoons. The main beach at nearby Preá is a long, open, side-on shore spot with choppy water and small waves, while flatwater lagoons such as Guriú and Tatajuba lie a short drive or downwind away. It is best known for very reliable trade-wind conditions during the second half of the year and for long downwind trips along the Ceará coast.
Wind & season
Winds are side-on / cross-shore trade winds, typically around 20-30 knots during the high season and often over 30 knots in the afternoons; several operators report wind on about 95% of days in the windiest months (August-November). The kite season runs roughly July to January (sometimes into February), with the windiest, most consistent conditions from August/September through November.
What makes Jericoacoara special
- Flatwater lagoons nearby: Guriú (a roughly 30-minute downwind, described as flat) and Tatajuba, which forms a flat lagoon at high tide
- Main beach at Preá is a long, open side-on shore spot with chop and small waves; a wide, uncrowded launch area
- Downwind trips along the Ceará coast, e.g. Preá/Barrinha to Jericoacoara in roughly one hour, and longer runs toward Guriú and Tatajuba
- Consistent trade winds around 20-30 knots in high season, frequently topping 30 knots in the afternoons
- Set inside Jericoacoara National Park, a landscape of sand dunes and lagoons; warm water year-round
- Suits all levels: beginner-friendly flat lagoons plus chop and small waves for freeride and freestyle
Jericoacoara Airport (JJD, near Cruz) is about 30-40 minutes from the village. Fortaleza International Airport (FOR) is the main long-haul gateway, roughly 4.5-5 hours away by private 4x4 transfer (buses take around 6-7 hours). The final stretch into Jeri is over sand dunes and requires a 4x4/buggy.
