The riding

The season here runs later into the southern summer than Ceará’s, which makes Gostoso a good option in January and February when the western northeast has faded. Strength is a little lower, and more comfortable for riders still progressing.

Beaches with distinct personalities sit within a few kilometres of each other: flat sections sheltered by sandbars, chop, and properly formed waves. You pick the scene to match the day and your goal.

Getting there

About 110 km from Natal, roughly two hours on paved road. The village is small, walkable and quiet at night.

Worth knowing

Ask your school which beach is working best that day — conditions vary a lot between them.

A good fit if you want to combine kiting with a calm trip, without a resort atmosphere.
