It's located directly in Fortaleza. Either on the city center shore or find the wave spot by driving westward. You will drive on a small hill and when driving down, then see the beach on the right.
Edit
Watch out for the wave breaker and respect the surfers. Not recommended to kitesurf or windsurf, too many surfers around. No safe area, so don't take any valuables with you.
Edit
Great nightlife in Fortaleza.
