Before you go
The transport guides break down every route.
3 km · ~20min total
Caburé fills with day-tripper boats from Barreirinhas at lunchtime — arrive early or late to avoid the peak. There are no upscale accommodations; it is a transit stop, not a destination for an extended overnight. 4x4 access from Paulino Neves (~30 km along the beach) is the alternative to the boat if coming from the Piauí side.
Caburé is a narrow sandbar between the Rio Preguiças and the Atlantic — on the river side, calm shallow water for kitesurfing; on the ocean side, open waves. The shrimp restaurants here are a ritual stop on any Rota das Emoções journey, and the dual water (river freshwater × ocean saltwater) on a single sandbar is geographically unique.
Check the month-by-month calendar, then read the when-to-go guide for the detail.

Crossing between islands can be dangerous at falling tide — strong currents.
Tide advice · CABURÉ
Boat crossing between Caburé and Atins depends on tides. Check schedules before boarding.
Spring Tide — Expect more extreme tides. Great for filling lagoons, be cautious at beaches.
Heights in meters above chart datum. “Mean level” is the average of this day’s extreme heights; it does not indicate depth.
We calculate tides using FES2022 harmonics and calibration data from FEMAR reference stations. Heights use the model’s reference-station baseline, not measurements at each village. For rivers and inland locations, the curve is a coastal tide reference; it does not predict local water levels.
Wind through the day
Motion starts on its own when the visualization is in view.
SpeedThe flow speeds up with the wind speed at the selected hour. At zero wind it stops.
DirectionThe dot on the compass marks where the wind comes from. The lines travel the opposite way.
GustsThe ring shows the difference between wind speed and gust speed. Without valid gust data it disappears.
An illustration only — it does not simulate how often gusts arrive. The summary and the reading use the whole period shown in the chart.
