How to read the Jericoacoara forecast
Jeri is the spot on this list where the forecast matters least at the height of the season: from September to November it blows hard essentially all day, every day. The forecast is less about deciding whether to ride and more about picking a kite size when you wake up.
Read the peak, not the average. If the day peaks above 32 knots, rig for that rather than for the midday figure — underestimating here means walking back up the beach to swap. Check direction too: the village beach works well on east/southeast and gets uncomfortable when the wind swings further north.
What the model cannot see
The village sits behind tall dunes, which creates turbulence over part of the beach that no global model captures. The number on this page is the clean wind; near the Sunset Dune it arrives far more broken up.
