Taíba
São Gonçalo do Amarante, CE, Brazil
🪸Sharp reef
Taíba is Ceará's most consistent surf spot, a right-hand point break that lights up when N swells generated by North Atlantic systems reach the northeast coast. The warm water and reliable trade winds make it a popular destination for kitesurfers as well. The fishing village setting retains authenticity despite growing surf tourism.
