“Uruau is without doubt a hidden gem! A vast empty beach, fantastic conditions and one of the longest windy seasons – this is the perfect winter retreat! ”

Located over an hour from Fortaleza airport, on the North East coast of Brazil, and open to the Atlantic Ocean, Uruau has it all – from flat water to waves, from a private lagoon to the open sea, a quaint little fishing village, and charming Brazilian Pousadas. Uruau offers everything you can ask for in a kitesurfing holiday! In fact, it is a very popular hub for pro kiters like Jo Wilson, Aaron Hadlow and Alberto Rondina who come here every season to train and learn some new tricks.

With one of the longest windy seasons, from July to January, Uruau’s small lagoon and vast empty beach is the perfect place for beginners and also for those looking for some flat water to learn and improve their tricks. During these months, the thermic winds start at the crack of dawn and blow until sunset! Here in Uruau, you can find yourself riding in the most beautiful sunsets until dark. This is why our partner centre has started organising night sessions, with lamps lightening up the lagoon for those looking for a different and unique kitesurfing experience!

For those rare non windy days, the centre offers Stand up paddle. This is an ideal way to spend the day, exploring the lakes, mangroves and improving your SUP skills, and finish the afternoon off with a lunch packed with fresh seafood in a small Barraka right on the waters edge. For those looking to explore the surrounding area, buggy trips can also be organised for the day.

Uruau’s relaxed vibe is a fantastic place for a kitesurfing holiday. Step off the plane in Fortaleza, drive south and you find yourself in a kitesurfing haven!
