Resumo: | This article presents the results of an analysis of the social and recreational value of waves at Icaraí Beach, located in Caucaia municipality, Ceará, Northeast Brazil. The evaluation of the wave resource followed the Zonal Travel Cost Method, a fundamental tool for obtaining economic estimates of ecosystem services that are not subject to market forces. The method provides a valuation of unique abiotic resources that underpin tourism, sporting and recreational economies. For data collection, 50 questionnaires with open and closed questions were administered from February to July 2019 to a specific audience, the local surfers. The social value of Icaraí’s surf break is strongly related to the surfers' familiarity with the beach, as well as in the perception of the wave resource as a profitable attraction for the local economy. It is estimated that the economic benefit of the surf break at Icaraí Beach is US$ 288,364 per annum, which is spent by 1,185 surfers, averaging US$ 1.37 for each surf trip. In summary, the values reflect economic benefits for the municipality of Caucaia and can assist decision-making processes, contributing to the protection and maintenance of the beach by incorporating wave resources into an effective coastal management strategy. Keywords: Value of waves. Surfers. Surfing. Cost of Travel Method. Coastal Management. |

La evaluación del recurso de las olas siguió el Método de Costo de Viaje Zonal, una herramienta fundamental para obtener estimaciones económicas de los servicios ecosistémicos que no están sujetos a las fuerzas del mercado. El método proporciona una valoración de recursos abióticos únicos que sustentan las economías turísticas, deportivas y recreativas. Para la recolección de datos, se administraron 50 cuestionarios con preguntas abiertas y cerradas de febrero a julio de 2019 a una audiencia específica, los navegantes locales. El valor social del pico surf Icaraí está fuertemente relacionado con la familiaridad de los surfistas con la playa, así como con la percepción del recurso de las olas como un atractivo rentable para la economía local. Se estima que el beneficio económico del surf en la playa de Icaraí es de US$ 288,364 por año, el cual es gastado por 1,185 surfistas, con un promedio de US$ 1,37 por cada viaje de surf. En resumen, los valores reflejan beneficios económicos para el municipio de Caucaia y pueden ayudar en los procesos de toma de decisiones, contribuyendo a la protección y mantenimiento de la playa al incorporar los recursos de las olas en una estrategia efectiva de manejo costero.Palabras clave: Valor de las olas.
