About Barra Grande

Barra Grande, 200 kilometers north of Jericoacoara, is a laid-back surf town with increasing kite focus. The main bay in front of beach resorts offers accessible riding on choppy to flat water depending on tidal conditions. A short downwind paddle leads to Boca, a pristine lagoon spot with exceptional flat water and strong, reliable winds—perfect for big-air sessions. The area delivers excellent Brazilian northeast conditions with minimal crowds and relaxed village atmosphere. Getting there requires time but rewards visitors with uncrowded waves, strong wind, and genuine local culture.
