Lagoa da Tabuba is the lagoon at the mouth of the Riacho do Juá, between the CE-090 road bridge (Tabuba-Icaraí) and the sea, about 4.5 km upwind from Cumbuco. It is a quieter alternative to Cauípe: flat and shallow water (knee to waist deep), good for learning, finishing a course and for freestyle training. Some kite schools give lessons here, and the downwind to Cumbuco beach starts from the lagoon. It works with the trade wind, which blows almost daily from July to January, strongest in September and in the afternoon; from May to July it comes more from the southeast and is more gusty. From February to April is the rainy season and the wind is less constant. It is a seasonal lagoon: its shape and size change significantly with the rains and from year to year. Parking is next to the barraca on the west shore, downwind, beside the road. Launch on the west shore, north of the barraca, or on the sandbank between the lagoon and the sea. Watch out for the road and the bridge at the southern end, the sharp stones and shells on the bottom and the water, which is murky and of poor quality: do not swallow it and do not enter with open wounds. At weekends it gets crowded with people on the shore and kites in the water. In Cumbuco, ten minutes away by car, there are bars and a supermarket. In case of emergency call 193 (fire brigade) or 192 (SAMU). The best time is from August to December. Photos: "Fortaleza, Ceará, Brasil. Montando kitesurf.
