Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring a 17-19m kite to maximize light-wind sessions; a directional beginner board or small wave board works best in flat conditions. Consider a larger kite than you'd normally use given the 5.3 kt average.

Clothing · A 3/2mm wetsuit is suitable year-round; water temperatures in Florianopolis range 18-25°C depending on season. Summer months (Jan, Dec) require minimal protection, while winter (Jun-Aug) needs thicker suits.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect other water users in this populated Florianopolis area and yield to swimmers and boats. Session sharing is important given limited windy days—be considerate with space.

Additional notes

Best winds occur Oct-Dec and January—plan visits around these months for consistent sessions. This is an excellent beginner spot due to flat water and low-wind forgiveness, though you'll need patience and flexibility with scheduling.
