The once-little fishing village of Cumbuco is around just 30 minutes journey North of Fortaleza airport in the North Eastern state Ceara, Brazil. From the months of June to January this part of Brazil has to be one of the windiest places on the Planet! Combined with some of the friendliest people you are ever likely to meet, and a vibrant South American atmosphere, Cumbuco makes for a Kitesurfing Holiday of a lifetime.
PLANET first visited this area about 20 years ago on a research trip along the entire Northern Coastline from Fortaleza right up to Jericoacoara. At that time Cumbuco was a relatively little-known quiet spot. Since then the word has got around about what an astounding place this is and so the resort has become one of the best known kitesurf resorts in Brazil. On a more recent visit we have found a range of new, very good accommodations, the best in Cumbuco (we went to see every hotel!). Cumbuco is best suited to those looking for a very sociable and fun kitesurf holiday with some amazing conditions for all levels; from total beginner through to those looking for small waves. For bigger waves it is better to head further North (ask us about this if you are advanced rider).
As with all of our resorts it is always best to speak with us, we are Brazil experts and know this region very well. It is very important to get the right accommodation and location for your budget and level - when booking with Planet Kitesurf Holidays you can be assured of both. If you have a little longer we strongly recommend combining a kitesurf holiday to Cumbuco with one of the other kitesurf resorts and / or some other trips around Brazil - see our suggested tours below.
Cumbuco: On one side of Cumbuco are big dunes and on the other flat sea, but the warm air radiating off the dunes builds the wind up - it‘s proper trade wind too. There is miles of flat wide beach to chose a spot to launch from so you shouldn’t get too crowded even if it seems like there are lots of people around town or the hotels.
Lagoa Cauipe: Situated 10km downwind (north) to Cumbuco the Lagoa Cauipe is a beautiful lagoon close to the sea. Flat water or waters, you choose. You need a buggy or a 4x4 to drive from Cumbuco to the lagoon if you want to use the “road beach”. With a normal car you can take the normal road. You can also make a nice downwind from Cumbuco.
From June to December North Eastern Brazil has some of the best wind in the planet with reliable 20 - 30 knots 80% of the days!!
Cumbuco has some great nightlife and restaurtants all situated around the small centre. You can have a great time in Cumbuco on the weekends if you want or just have a relaxing meal in a small restaurant...all with a Brazilian smile. If you want a big night out then head to Fortaleza, here you have everything.

This unusual and unique tour takes you to Brazil's wild and beautiful North. As you move North along the coast of Ceara state, where the better-known kitesurf resorts are (such as Prea and Jericoacoara), and into Piaui and Maranhao States, the infrastructure becomes more scarce, and the coastline becomes wild. Travelling in this area typically involved 4x4 driving along wild deserted beaches, traversing estuaries and taking small, locally run make-shift ferry crossings. Travelling becomes more of an experience and less of something to endure.
The kitesurfing in this area is uncrowded and breathtaking! It is some of the most dramatic and extraordinary kiting on the Planet.
