About this spot
Ponta Preta is one of the world's best kite-wave spots. Right-hand reef break with clean, fast waves up to 3m on big swell days. Strong onshore winds combine with the reef bathymetry to produce kickers and large wave faces. Strictly advanced — beach entry over sharp rocks. Hosted GKA World Tour stops.
