Wind in Ilha do Guajiru

How to read the Ilha do Guajiru forecast

Wind filling in early and staying clean for hours is the pattern here — with no obstacle upwind, the gap between average wind and gusts is among the smallest on this list. That is what lets you drill tricks in series without power surprises.

At this spot the tide is the primary information, not the wind. The shallow flat sheet only exists during part of the cycle; outside it you ride in deeper water and the whole appeal of the place disappears. Plan the day around the tide line and use the wind only to pick a kite.

What the model cannot see

The village is about 200 km from Fortaleza and the global model has limited resolution along this indented stretch of coast. Treat the number as a reliable order of magnitude, not as one-knot precision.
