Jeri offers several spots depending on conditions and level. The main beach works with the NE side-onshore trade winds — ideal for freeride and waves. The lagoons (Lagoa do Paraíso, Lagoa Azul) 20-30 km away offer perfect flatwater for freestyle and learning, accessible by buggy. Downwinders along the coast (toward Preá, Tatajuba, or all the way to Camocim) are the main attraction: 30 to 100 km of riding along deserted beaches with buggy support. The spot works at all tides on the beach, but at low tide, sandbars create flat water areas inside.

Open all year round

Intermediate

Warm water year-round (27-29°C), boardshorts and lycra are sufficient. On the main beach: waves of 0.5 to 2 meters with sandy bottom, excellent for wave riding. The lagoons offer crystal-clear shallow freshwater (50 cm to 1.5 m), perfect for freestyle. During downwinders, the water varies between wave zones, flat sections and passages near the dunes. Moderate current toward the west on the main beach. The water is generally turquoise with excellent visibility.

Jericoacoara is a pedestrian village with sandy streets — no cars are allowed inside the village. Vehicles are parked at the parking lot at the village entrance (paid). Access to the village from Jijoca de Jericoacoara is by buggy or 4x4 on the beach and sand tracks (about 30 minutes). Pousadas and kite schools are within walking distance inside the village. For remote spots (lagoons), transport is by buggy.

Northeast to easterly trade winds, among the most consistent in the world. The main season runs from July to December with daily winds of 18 to 30 knots. Wind picks up late morning and blows until evening. The months of August to November are the windiest with averages of 22-28 knots. The wind is side-onshore on the main beach. The northeast wind orientation creates perfect conditions for downwinders westward along the coast. Even in low season (February-June), sessions are possible with thermal breezes.
