Clube dos ventos Jeri
Jericoacoara is one of the best places for wind in all of Brazil, if not the world. This is due to the strong trade winds that come all the way from the Africa. While most of Ceará's coastline runs SE to NW, Jeri's coast runs E W, parallel to the equator and in exact line with the trade winds which has no natural obstacles, and therefore arrives with full force. The wind in Jericoacoara arrives in June/july and stays until January/February. 90% of these days offer 4.2 - 4.7 side-off sailing for six hours. Yeap, it´s true.
KITESURF:
We have chosen the best kitesurf spot in Jeri, and named as Jeri Kite Zone.
What´s great about this spot: flat water + perfect wind conditions!
Jericoacoara is famous about the wind conditions, so there´s no doubt about guaranteed wind. What we add was flat water on the wide open ocean, perfect for freestyle kiters.
Come and check yourself!
LieuJericoacoara and ClubVentos is situated on the eastern point of a long carving bay. This means that all sailing takes place inside a bay which then creates a natural safety area.
There are three main sailing areas around ClubVentos, which together makes Jericoacoara a rather diverse spot.
!! NEWS !!

THE POINT
Just in front of the club you will find the smoothest waves in north of Brazil. This is the main sailing area, where most of our clients choose to surf. On the inside the waves gently turns into flat water, and André Paskowski recently said it is one of the flattest waters he has sailed. That means that you can jump on the way out, do a tack, surf a wave on the way in and end the ride with a freestyle attempt on the super flat inside.
SUNSET DUNE
This large sailing area offers the best freeride sailing in the Jericoacoara bay. An endlessly big flatwater area which sometimes can contribute with some nice and gently shorebreaks
MALHADA
For the more advance sailor. This side-on beach on the other side of town (upwind of "The Point") offers the best starboard jumping ramps around. But it is a place for sailors with confident as there is a lot of rocks and a long walk back if something goes wrong. The current freestyle champion, Marcilio “Brawzinho” Browne has this beach as one of his favorite jumping beaches.
REGARDING WAVES:
Waves differ in size depending on tide, swell and time of year. During high tide is when you have the biggest waves ranging in size from waist to shoulder to head high. The waves in Jericoacoara and the whole northern coast of Brazil becomes bigger later in the season, with peaking size at Christmas. With a soft sandy bottom, these are friendly, gentle waves that are perfect for learning to ride, to practice your jumps, tabletops, forwards, back loops or whatever move you feel like going for.
