What the season feels like
Classic Piauí coast season: wind from July to January, steadiest August to December. Expect a long beach, pale sand, and shallow sheltered sections — good beginner and freestyle water when tide and sandbars cooperate. It is the same trade wind as Barra Grande a few kilometers away; the difference is scale and crowd. Less tourist infrastructure than Ceará hubs: lean schools, simple guesthouses, early nights. Tide rules many shallow setups — check the table before you choose where to rig.
