Lagoinha - Kitesurf area

Downwind to Flexeiras

Barra do Trairi . After 5 km downwind from Jegue Lagoon, you reach a another lagoon, created inside a river mouth. You can kite inside the lagoon straight from the ocean at high tide, but an escorting 4x4 car can not cross at high tide. Water conditions change from moderate wave and beach breaks at high tide, to small wind waves and chop at low tide.

Downwind to Guajiru. The wind here turns slightly more side shore, and water become choppy.If you have an escorting car, plan to drive at low tide, and better consult the local before you go. There is nothing on the way, and you can get stuck somewhere in the middle.  Coming to Guajiru, nice waves can be found inside in the up wind side of the village. Watch out of the rocks and fish poles in the wave area. In the bay,  the condition change from small wind waves during low tide, to moderate beach breaks and chop during high Tide., t

Downwind to Flexeiras. When the beach turns, before arrival at Flexeiras, you can find nice waves break out side on the reef belt. From there, stay out and be careful 
of the fish poles , submerging reef and wind shelters. Land at the downwind part of the center to avoid wind gusts and turbulence at the upwind part of the bay.

Driving by the beach to Flexeiras, is tide dependent, so another option  is to take money and your Havaianas, and ride a bus back from Flexeiras to Lagoinha.
