Itinerary · Barrinha to Tatajuba, Ceará, Brazil
The route
Ready to go further than a single day? This two-day downwinder links Barrinha to Tatajuba over two easy, flat-water legs, building your distance and confidence as you go. Support comes from a car with a professional driver who follows behind as backup, staying close to assist whenever you need it. The service includes: a private guide on the water with a briefing and coaching throughout, a driver who follows the whole way with personal assistance, and a medium/high-quality hotel with breakfast included for the night in between. Price depends on the time of the season, the number of people on the downwind and the package you choose. Contact us for a quote.
Day by day
Beginning in the chill town of Barrinha, we start off easy with flat and shallow water — perfect for getting used to it. A few km down we pass by the world-renowned spot of Preá before arriving in the iconic town of Jericoacoara, where we'll enjoy one of the most beautiful sunsets on a dune. Hotel and breakfast included for the night here.
Starting from Jericoacoara, the second day opens with incredible views and flat water with small waves until we reach Guriú, a lagoon spot where beginners and advanced riders gather. From there it's a beautiful stretch to the lovely town of Tatajuba, where your two-day downwinder comes to an end.
When to go
The trade winds blow steady and strong along this coast from July through December, with the most reliable conditions between August and November — the best window to book any of our downwinders.
