Paracuru

The main spot Quebramar is a 10 minute drive east out of town. Most of the pousadas offer transfers in case you are not driving yourself. Quebramar is a reef spot that is highly tide dependent. At low and mid tide the reef barriers form a large flatwater lagoon ideal for freestylers and beginners. Wave lovers can head out to the reef break where they should find one-two metres action. The space lagoon can fill up early during low tide though, so don’t leave it too late to head out.
In high tide conditions the frontal reef about 200m offshore forms a small break that produces waves of two-three metres and more pending on the swell. The lagoon on the other hand can get pretty choppy during that time.

The beach bar cum restaurant at Quebramar invites you to chill and rest and watch the action unfold between sessions.

To the west of town there is the river mouth of the Curu. At high tide a great flatwater spot opens up here, however, whilst the wind out on the open sea is pumping strong, it gets rather gusty as you enter into the river. Another important consideration before heading out here is to confirm with the locals about the hours of operation for kiting here as access is regulated.

Continuing on this trajectory from Paracuru westwards, the route to Lagoinha makes for a nice Downwind of around 15km. You’ll pass a long stretch of spectacular white sanded beach and blue water. Watch out for the rocky stretch on the tip of Lagoinha before arriving on its main beach.
