LATE NIGHT…

Atins is celebrated for its remote and natural setting and most people adapt their rhythm to enjoy the more chilled and relaxing evenings. Night time activity is growing though and the village offers several restaurants plus some clubs and bars with live music.

THE LOWDOWN

Brazil offers kitesurfing perfection with endless flat spots and some wave action. This warm and sunny destination offers guaranteed wind conditions in the high season, without the crowds. It sits right at the entrance of the magical National Park of Lençóis Maranhenses, a unique and surreal desert landscape that mixes white sand dunes with rich underground water supplies that form crystal clear blue and turquoise lagoons. A truly amazing place to come and kitesurf!

KITING SET UP

Atins beach provides ideal launching and landing spots, and gives access to a huge tidal saltwater lagoon. The ever changing sandbanks and knee deep lagoons offer sublime warm flatwater conditions with no rock hazards. An ideal set-up for all levels of riders, from beginners to hardcore freestylers. If you're into waves simply sail out to the ocean and enjoy the chop and waves there.

WHEN IS BEST TO GO?

Thanks to the trade winds, Brazil’s entire northeast coast is as safe a bet as it gets when it comes to constant winds. From July to December you’re guaranteed to kite, with October and November seeing the strongest winds of up to 30 knots. The wind is a constant cross/on-shore to the beach.

NO WIND?

Wind is almost guaranteed from July to mid-January. You should definitely check out the famous Lençóis Maranhenses! The park is home to various fragile ecosystems – mangroves and dunes of sandbanks as far as the eye can see. You can also horse-ride, SUP, go fishing, or just enjoy relaxing in a hammock!
