Tatajuba, Brazil — where the wind always blows!

99% wind probability, reliable side-onshore wind from July to January, and Brazil’s longest wind season — Tatajuba is the spot for anyone who wants wind without end. The wind kicks in almost every day around 11 a.m. and doesn’t let up until sunset; in peak season, 30 knots and more are totally normal. While others wait for wind, we’re already out on the water. Believe us: You can safely leave the big kites at home — here you’ll usually be perfect on 5 to 9 m². Plus the variety: a flatwater lagoon, choppy ocean, and even a freshwater lagoon — all right on your doorstep. Beginners find ideal learning conditions, advanced riders endless space for new tricks. In Tatajuba, the full KiteWorldWide spirit awaits: shared downwinders, laid-back sundowners, and a community that turns strangers into friends.

01. What makes Tatajuba so special — and what can our guests expect on arrival?

“What makes Tatajuba special is the warmth, the blue sky, the wind that shows up reliably every day, the warm water, the friendly people — and that unique vibe. Everything is in beautiful balance: nature, kiting, community. You just have to experience it yourself.”

02. You grew up here — how has Tatajuba changed, and what thankfully stayed the same?

“Tatajuba has really changed over the last six or seven years — more dining options, nice bars, things like that. But what stayed the same are the friendly people and the community feel. Everyone connects, everyone knows each other. And the fishermen’s way of life is still very alive — you can head out early, buy fresh fish straight from the boat, and cook it yourself. That simple life still exists here, and I hope it stays that way.”

03. What makes the freshwater lagoon and the downwinders so special?

“For me, the downwinders here are the absolute highlight. We offer different routes — from 5 to 23 kilometers — and along the way you’ll find flatwater, waves, and everything in between. From VDWS Level 5 you can join the downwinders, and then it doesn’t matter if it’s your first or your hundredth — it’s always exciting and new. And if conditions in Tatajuba shift, it’s worth heading to Lagoa Torta — a gorgeous freshwater lagoon amid the dunes where the water doesn’t sting your eyes and your kite gear comes out fresh and clean. A real bonus.”

04. What would you tell someone thinking about a Brazil trip — but still hesitating?

“If you’re unsure — just come. Every morning starts with the freshest fruit you’ve ever had, a good breakfast, maybe some yoga. Then the wind kicks in around 11 a.m. and doesn’t stop until sunset. After your session, grab an açaí bowl, and end the evening with a caipirinha. Tatajuba is a small place, but it’s full of Brazilian culture, fresh fish, the famous picanha — and wind every single day. You won’t regret it.”

Our downwinders are the heart of every Tatajuba trip. From the Kite Center, you’ll ride along endless beaches — choose 10, 13, or 23 kilometers. Along the way, flatwater sections, small waves, and everything in between alternate.

If ocean conditions change, it’s worth detouring to Lagoa Torta — a stunning freshwater lagoon amid the dunes where the water doesn’t sting your eyes and your gear ends up fresh and clean. Here too, our team supports the downwinder on the water and with a support vehicle behind you. A real bonus — and for many, the highlight of the whole trip.

PS: Osvaldo has a secret spot up his sleeve — he’ll be happy to show you on site.

Pick between our modern Casa de Praia right on the beach and the green oasis Portal do Vento — just 150 m apart. Whatever you choose: we kick off together at the generous breakfast buffet, and chill in the spacious pool area — with the odd pool party.

Casa de Praia · Right on the beach

In the SeaView rooms at Casa de Praia, your first look in the morning is the kitespot — at high tide, the water practically touches the property. A true dream for kite fans. Cool off after your session in the small pool with spot view and wind down your day.

Portal do Vento · The green oasis

Portal do Vento is a dream for nature lovers. You’ll stay surrounded by greenery, watch little monkeys and geckos all day, and choose between bungalows and stilt houses with wonderful views. Traveling as a group? Stay together in the Kitehouse like a shared flat — arrive together, head out together.

Tatajuba is more than just wind. Start your morning with yoga and an açaí bowl, or race buggies over the dunes, or take a trip to lively Jericoacoara. When the kites are packed away in the evening, part two of the day begins: our weekly BBQ included, chilled caipirinhas, the odd pool party, and stories from the water late into the night.

In between, you’ll spot hummingbirds and little monkeys right outside your door. This mix of action and relaxation makes Tatajuba perfect for companions and anyone seeking more than kiting. Here, a trip becomes a community — and strangers become friends.

“What makes Tatajuba so special for me is the indescribably beautiful, wide-open landscape, the relaxed vibe, and the warmth of the people. Add to that delicious food and sunrises and sunsets that perfectly round off every day. And of course the steady wind that kicks in almost every day — you can practically set your watch by it.”
