Overview

PARAJURU SPOTS
 
From mid-July to mid-February, constant wind from 14 to 25 knots, flat water in the lagoon and waves in the sea behind the sandbank...
  

Parajuru is mainly known for its flat water spot at high tide. The lagoon formed by the sandbank facing the shore gives it a surface sheltered from waves and wind at water level.

The wind is Side On or Side.

The wind blows consistently between 14 and 25 knots.

Its configuration allows it to generate a bit more wind than the surrounding spots.

You can touch the bottom, the water is warm, the sand is white, and there are no sea urchins, corals, rocks, or marine animals that could hurt you.

​The ideal spot for beginners as well as for progressing!
  

WAVES

Not well-known for its waves, the Parajuru spot nevertheless has nice waves that aren't too high, perfect for having fun without getting scared.

​At high tide, for strapless riding, or at rising tide on our secret spots.

​For beginners, a smooth swell forms at low tide offshore from the lagoon, allowing you to ride down mountains of water without getting pounded.
