Wind Reports and Weather
The famous wind of North Brazil starts to be really strong and consistent in this region. The more west you travel from here, the more wind you find. Icarazinho offer slightly less wind then Jericoacoara with normally 4,7 – 5,3 during the high season; June-December. As along the rest of the coast, you will find the strongest wind during mid day and the afternoons. During the mornings you will have lighter winds which are perfect for beginners and practicing a new trick. Or just sleep in…
Icarazinho offers a diverse and amazing windsurfing spot (or spots). It reminds a lot of Jericoacoara, as both places are situated in bays with specific wave points. ClubVentos Icarazinho center has its porch right on the beach on the upwind side of the bay, just next to the point.
You will find a big flat water area by the center, which is protected by a reef. During low tide the reef sticks up outside this area and stops nearly all water movement , and you will have the whole bay as a perfect freeride / freestyle area. Most part of the inner bay is waist / shoulder deep which makes it a perfect beginner spot, especially during the mornings with lighter winds. As the tide raises smaller waves appear which are perfect for easy wave practice.
Three minutes upwind sailing from the freeride / freestyle area you will find Icarazinho’s wave spot. A reef, combined with fishermen’s old wood logs creates a break for the more advance waverider / jumper. Brawzinho and Kauli had no problem doing double forwards during our stop here in December.

Fortunately the wind is kicking in like hell every single day. That means that it is "pumping" every day for sailsizes between 3.7 and 5,0.
And by the way, despite the slightly sketchy swells by the beginning of september, there is still plenty of radical wave action, because there are lovely waves and ramps pealing across the reef of Icaraizinho.
The local guys are like ripping on fire and keeping the crowds (actually there are not many crowds: thats why its so nice and tranquilo here ;)) busily blew to the action.
So make sure you check in any time you like, respectively right now, right here!!!
