What the season feels like
The window shifts later than Ceará: September through March often works, with October to January at its most consistent. Side-shore wind builds around lunchtime and holds through the afternoon. Ponta do Santo Cristo and Cardeiro mix relatively flat bay water, chop, and reef waves farther out. There is terrain for every level, but each band needs a different line; beginners should stay in the school area and clear of windsurf and wingfoil traffic.
