Kitesurfing in Paraíba
3 spots · 1 destination · 1 schools
Paraíba's three spots read as one progression: reef-sheltered water off Praia do Bessa in João Pessoa for lessons, Ponta de Lucena's all-direction point break running July to December, and Barra de Camaratuba's river-mouth waves, where August wind hits 22 to 28 knots and only intermediates go without a school.
Lucena's currents have needed rescues, so even the point break wants local knowledge.
Paraíba holds 3 kitesurf spots in our atlas, grouped into 1 destination. Riding here is mostly lagoons, flat water and waves. The season runs July to December. 2 of them suits beginners. 1 school operates in the region. The busiest areas are Praia do Bessa & Ponta de Lucena.
When you may ride
the rules these spots carry, with the year on each
Barra de CamaratubaMataraca20082008: Lei municipal 272/2008 made the river mouth an Area de Relevante Interesse Ecologico da Barra do Camaratuba, and Mataraca regulates vehicle traffic inside it, fixing where large vehicles may load, unload and park at Barra de Camaratuba.
Ponta de LucenaLucena2026No local rules on record as of 2026, but that comes from a rider-contributed listing; ask the lifeguards or the municipality before you assume there are none.
Praia do BessaJoão Pessoa20262026: Joao Pessoa publishes no kite rules, lifeguard restrictions or designated launch area for Praia do Bessa.
Each block is the opening of the record's own rule, kept in its own words. Where two postings do not line up, both are kept and neither is picked for you.
