Paradise - For Windlovers

For over 6 months of the year, the coast stretching up from Fortaleza and all the way past Jericoacoara is a paradise for Kitesurfers and Winsurfers alike. The constant wind (tradewind) normally starts around the middle of July and blows every day until past Christmas when in January it starts to weaken and gets less frequent, with the basic rule of thumb being that the closer you get to Jericoacoara the stronger the wind get, making sure you add an extra 10 knotts onto the forecast you receive. But even out of the wind season there are some windy days just  normally not so strong or predictable. The beaches all along the coast are mainly deserted and wind around bay after bay of fine golden sands.
